“Do not be afraid of demons; it is the living we should fear. Human horrors trump anything that Hollywood or the afterlife can conjure. Always remember this when you encounter a wild animal or a stray spirit. They are not as dangerous as you.”
Shehan Karunatilaka, The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida

Rebecca Makkai
“The dosage of my antidepressant is such that I haven’t cried actual tears in a decade, but there are times when I want so badly to cry that I make all the noises of crying, press my fists into my eyes so I feel something similar. The absence of tears hurts more—or makes whatever hurts hurt more—than if I could just sob.”
Rebecca Makkai, I Have Some Questions For You

Shehan Karunatilaka
“I've watched your kind. Both as beast and as ghost. I can't understand why humans destroy when they can create. Such a waste.”
Shehan Karunatilaka, The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida

“It’s difficult to know God’s face if you don’t even know your own”
Shehan Karunatilaka, The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida

“If suicide bombers knew they end up in the same waiting room with all their victims,’ says the ghoul in her slithery voice, ‘they may think twice.”
Shehan Karunatilaka, The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida
