Mary H.K. Choi
“I want to be happy," says dad. "I want to be interested and challenged by whatever verb I elect to noun in any given moment of my life. If I am healthy, my family's healthy, and I am of sound enough mind to sustain curiosity around my work, then I'm blessed.”
Mary H.K. Choi, Permanent Record

Ottessa Moshfegh
“I touched the frame of the painting. And then I placed my whole palm on the dry, rumbling surface of the canvas, simply to prove to myself that there was no god stalking my soul. Time was not immemorial. Things were just things.”
Ottessa Moshfegh, My Year of Rest and Relaxation

Jenny Odell
“Extrapolating this into the realm of strangers, I worry that if we let our real-life interactions be corralled by our filter bubbles and branded identities, we are also running the risk of never being surprised, challenged, or changed—never seeing anything outside of ourselves, including our own privilege.”
Jenny Odell, How to Do Nothing: Resisting the Attention Economy

Sally Rooney
“Life offers up these moments of joy despite everything,”
Sally Rooney, Normal People

Jenny Odell
“I looked over at my neighbor, the song sparrow, and thought about how just a few years ago, I wouldn’t have known its name, might not have even known it was a sparrow, might not have even seen it at all. How lonely that world seemed in comparison to this one! But the sparrow and I were no longer strangers. It was no stretch of the imagination, nor even of science, to think that we were related. We were both from the same place (Earth), made of the same stuff. And most important, we were both alive.”
Jenny Odell, How to Do Nothing: Resisting the Attention Economy
