“To be utterly innocent would be to be utterly unknown, particularly to oneself.”
Djuna Barnes, Nightwood

George Eliot
“. . . the growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts, and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life and rest in unvisited tombs.”
George Eliot

Samantha Harvey
“The greatest tyranny of all is men's possession of women and women's possession of men. We want to own one another so that the other cannot outgrow us. You know how Chinese women bind their feet until the feet are deformed? This is what we do to one another's hearts.”
Samantha Harvey, Dear Thief

Samantha Harvey
“[The kids have] run around the grassy paths of their granddad's vegetable beds too many times. Let's play something, they say, but are out of ideas. . .

Samantha Harvey, The Shapeless Unease: A Year of Not Sleeping

Samantha Harvey
“. . . I have gradually come to believe that what's written cannot simply be amended to suit some later preference and so I have decided this is the way I will go on, writing without amendments, transparently . . . as though any of what I wrote mattered in the slightest.”
Samantha Harvey, Dear Thief
