Kazuo Ishiguro
“Then he took the sword in both hands and raised it—and Gawain’s posture took on an unmistakable grandeur.”
Kazuo Ishiguro, The Buried Giant

Sayaka Murata
“What I’m really scared of is believing that the words society makes me speak are my own. You’re different. That’s how I know you’re from another planet.”
Sayaka Murata, Earthlings

“Critics of acceleration maintain that accelerating patterns of life are the reason for a commonly voiced sense of unease--the feeling that one is not "really" living. Everything is done all at once, faster and faster, yet no personal balance or meaning can be found. This implies the loss of contact with one's own self. We also no longer feel "at home" with ourselves and find it difficult to persist in any given activity because we are available at every moment; the phone always rings at the worst possible time.”
Marc Wittmann, Felt Time: The Psychology of How We Perceive Time

Kazuo Ishiguro
“But then again I wonder if what we feel in our hearts today isn't like these raindrops still falling on us from the soaked leaves above, even though the sky itself long stopped raining. I'm wondering if without our memories, there's nothing for it but for our love to fade and die.”
Kazuo Ishiguro, The Buried Giant

Chuck Palahniuk
“I see in the fight club the strongest and smartest men who've ever lived. I see all this potential and I see squandering. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables, slaves with white collars, advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. We're the middle children of the history man, no purpose or place, we have no Great war, no Great depression, our great war is a spiritual war, our great depression is our lives, we've been all raised by television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires and movie gods and rock stars, but we won't and we're slowly learning that fact. and we're very very pissed off.”
Chuck Palahniuk, Fight Club
