Ottessa Moshfegh
“For a moment I felt joyful, and then I felt completely exhausted.”
Ottessa Moshfegh, My Year of Rest and Relaxation

Ali Smith
“I'm tired of the news. I'm tired of the way it makes things spectacular that aren't, and deals so simplistically with what's truly appalling. I'm tired of the vitriol. I'm tired of anger. I'm tired of the meanness. I'm tired of selfishness. I'm tired of how we're doing nothing to stop it. I'm tired of how we're encourageing it. I'm tired of the violence that's on it's way, that's coming, that hasn't happened yet. I'm tired of liars. I'm tired of sanctified liars. I'm tired of how those liars have let this happen. I'm tired of having to wonder whether they did it out of stupidity or did it on purpose. I'm tired of lying governments. I'm tired of people not caring whether they're being lied to anymore. I'm tired of being made to feel this fearful.”
Ali Smith, Autumn

George Orwell
“In a Society in which there is no law, and in theory no compulsion, the only arbiter of behaviour is public opinion. But public opinion, because of the tremendous urge to conformity in gregarious animals, is less tolerant than any system of law. When human beings are governed by ‘thou shalt not’, the individual can practise a certain amount of eccentricity: when they are supposedly governed by ‘love’ or ‘reason’, he is under continuous pressure to make him behave and think in exactly the same way as everyone else.”
George Orwell, Politics vs Literature

George Orwell
“Never tell me, by the way, that the dead look peaceful. Most of the corpses I have seen looked devilish.”
George Orwell, Shooting an Elephant

“I did crave attention, but I refused to humiliate myself by asking for it.”
