Pierce Brown
“He always thinks because I’m reading, I’m not doing anything. There is no greater plague to an introvert than the extroverted.”
Pierce Brown, Golden Son

Pat Barker
“I thought: Suppose, suppose just once, once, all these centuries, the slippery gods keep their word and Achilles is granted eternal glory in return for his early death under the walls of Troy...? What will they make of us, the people of those unimaginably distant times? One thing I do know: they won't want the brutal reality of conquest and slavery. They won't want to be told about the massacres of men and boys, the enslavement of women and girls. They won't want to know we were living in a rape camp. No, they'll go for something altogether softer. A love story, perhaps? I just hope they manage to work out who the lovers were.”
Pat Barker, The Silence of the Girls

Madeline Miller
“I thought: I cannot bear this world a moment longer. Then, child, make another.”
Madeline Miller, Circe

Hannah Kent
“Some folks are forced to the edges by their difference. (...) But 'tis at the edges that they find their power.”
Hannah Kent, The Good People

Natalie Haynes
“Sing, Muse," he said, and I have sung. I have sung of armies and I have sung of men. I have sung of gods and monsters, I have sung of stories and lies. I have sung of death and of life, of joy and of pain. I have sung of life after death. And I have sung of the women, the women in the shadows. I have sung of the forgotten, the ignored, the untold.”
Natalie Haynes, A Thousand Ships
