Olivia Laing
“A paranoid reader is concerned with gathering information, tracing links and making the hidden visible. They anticipate and are perennially defended against disaster, catastrophe, disappointment. They are always on the lookout for danger, about which they can never, ever know enough.”
Olivia Laing, Funny Weather: Art in an Emergency

Olivia Laing
“We're so often told that art can't really change anything. But I think it can. It shapes our ethical landscapes; it opens us to the interior lives of others. It is a training ground for possibility. It makes plain inequalities, and it offers other ways of living.”
Olivia Laing , Funny Weather: Art in an Emergency

Patti Smith
“Everything distracted me, but most of all myself.”
Patti Smith, Just Kids

Olivia Laing
“The stopped time of a painting, say, or the drawn-out minutes and compressed years of a novel, in which it is possible to see patterns and consequences that are otherwise invisible.”
Olivia Laing, Funny Weather: Art in an Emergency

Françoise Sagan
“Cynicism always enchanted me by producing a delicious feeling of self-assurance and of being in league with myself”
Françoise Sagan, Bonjour tristesse
