Kazuo Ishiguro
“Hope,’ he said. ‘Damn thing never leaves you alone.”
Kazuo Ishiguro, Klara and the Sun

Andrew Leland
“Disability can be considered as a biological fact (your eyes don't work) or a social construct (blindness is problematic only insofar as the world is built for the sighted).”
Andrew Leland, The Country of the Blind: A Memoir at the End of Sight

Durga Chew-Bose
“There’s strength in observing one’s miniaturization. That you are insignificant and prone to, and God knows, dumb about a lot. Because doesn’t smallness prime us to eventually take up space? For instance, the momentum gained from reading a great book. After after, sitting, sleeping, living in its consequence. A book that makes you feel, finally, latched on.”
Durga Chew-Bose, Too Much and Not the Mood: Essays

Barack Obama
“there are people in the world who think only about themselves. They don’t care what happens to other people so long as they get what they want. They put other people down to make themselves feel important. “Then there are people who do the opposite, who are able to imagine how others must feel, and make sure that they don’t do things that hurt people. “So,” she said, looking me squarely in the eye. “Which kind of person do you want to be?”
Barack Obama, A Promised Land

Emily St. John Mandel
“First we only want to be seen, but once we’re seen, that’s not enough anymore. After that, we want to be remembered.”
Emily St. John Mandel, Station Eleven
