Elif Batuman
“Everything you want right now, everything you want so passionately and think you’ll never get—you will get it someday.” I accidentally met her eyes, and it felt like she was talking to me. “Yes, you will get it,” she said, looking right at me, “but by that time, you won’t want it anymore. That’s how it happens.”
Elif Batuman, Either/Or

Megan Nolan
“You always think your pain is the most painful. You always think it's uniquely awful.”
Megan Nolan, Acts of Desperation

Yiyun Li
“Writing, teaching, gardening, grocery shopping, cooking, doing laundry—all these activities are time-bound, and they do not compete with my children, who are timeless now. There is no rush, as I will have every single day, for the rest of my life, to think about Vincent and James, outside time, outside the many activities of everyday life.”
Yiyun Li, Things in Nature Merely Grow

Elif Batuman
“I was going to remember, or discover, where everything came from. I was going to do the subtle, monstrous thing where you figured out what you were doing, and why.”
Elif Batuman, Either/Or

Elif Batuman
“Was this the decisive moment of my life? It felt as if the gap that had dogged me all my days was knitting together before my eyes— so that, from this point on, my life would be as coherent and meaningful as my favorite books. At the same time, I had a powerful sense of having escaped something: of having finally stepped outside of the script.”
Elif Batuman, Either/Or
