Elena Ferrante
“Once, she closed the book abruptly and said with annoyance, "That's enough." "Why?" "Because I've had it, it's always the same story: inside something small there's something even smaller that wants to leap out, and outside something large there's always someting larger that wants to keep it a prisoner.”
Elena Ferrante, The Story of a New Name

Elena Ferrante
“How can I explain to this woman—I thought—that from the age of six I've been a slave to letters and numbers, that my mood depends on the success of their combinations, that the joy of having done well is rare, unstable, that it lasts an hour, an afternoon, a night?”
Elena Ferrante, Those Who Leave and Those Who Stay

Kristiina Ehin
“Nüüd, kakskümmend aastat hiljem, olen siin Viljandis sõbranna sünnipäeval. Meie heledapäised pojad mängivad teises toas ja üleüldises melus tõstab sõber Jaak äkki häält. Ta tahtvat toosti ütelda. Mu lillelises kleidis sõbranna naeratab malbelt ja jääb tervituskõnet kuulama. Mingil peenel moel põimib Jaak oma kõnesse ka meheks ja naiseks olemise. Ta räägib, et palju kõneldakse sellest, kui raske olevat olla naine. Aga tema tahab rõhutada seda, et mees on üldse peaaegu võimatu olla. Mõiste mees tekitab negatiivseid kuvandeid veel rohkem kui naine. Eesti mees olevat aga veel eriti raske olla. Sellesse olevat mingil kummalisel moel segatud Mahtra ja Anija meeste uhkus ja häbi, korraga ülemuslikkus ja alaväärsus, elumehe ja nohiku kuvand - ja seda kõike nii salakavalalt, et see söövat hinge verele. Ta tõstab toosti selle terviseks, et me kõik leiaksime endas kuidagimoodi üles selle, mis on ehe, olgu me siis naised või mehed, et me ei laseks ennast piirata mingitel tontlikel mõistetel, suurtel mehelikkuse ja naiselikkuse v a l a s k a l a d e l, vaid oleksime looduslapselikult p ä r i s, just nagu meie lillelises kleidis juubilar.”
Kristiina Ehin, Paleontoloogi päevaraamat

Elena Ferrante
“she was explaining to me that I had won nothing, that in the world there is nothing to win, that her life was full of varied and foolish adventures as much as mine, and that time simply slipped away without any meaning, and it was good just to see each other every so often to hear the mad sound of the brain of one echo in the mad sound of the brain of the other.”
Elena Ferrante, The Story of a New Name

Karl Ove Knausgård
“Writing is drawing the essence of what we know out of the shadows. That is what writing is about. Not what happens there, not what actions are played out there, but the there itself. There, that is writing's location and aim. But how to get there?”
Karl Ove Knausgård, Min kamp 1
