Gabrielle Zevin
“She had once read in a book about consciousness that over the years, the human brain makes an AI version of your loved ones. The brain collects data, and within your brain, you host a virtual version of that person. Upon the person’s death, your brain still believes the virtual person exists, because, in a sense, the person still does. After a while, though, the memory fades, and each year, you are left with an increasingly diminished version of the AI you had made when the person was alive.”
Gabrielle Zevin, Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow

Sally Rooney
“How often in life he has found himself a frustrated observer of apparently impenetrable systems, watching other people participate effortlessly in structures he can find no way to enter or even understand. So often that it’s practically baseline, just normal existence for him. And this is not only due to the irrational nature of other people, and the consequent irrationality of the rules and processes they devise; it’s due to Ivan himself, his fundamental unsuitedness to life. He knows this. He feels himself to have been formed, somehow, with something other than life in mind.”
Sally Rooney, Intermezzo

R.F. Kuang
“Writing is the closest thing we have to real magic”
R.F. Kuang, Yellowface

Travis Baldree
“WHAT FLAMES COULD NOT CONSUME,
NEVER SHALL BE EXTINGUISHED”
Travis Baldree, Legends & Lattes

Nikki Erlick
“We humans have an impulse to mark our existence in some way that feels permanent. We scribble ‘I was here’ onto our desks at school. We spray paint it on walls. We carve it into bark. I was here. I wanted this sculpture to do to the same, to let it be know that these people lived. A testament to the fact that these humans — with their long strings and medium strings and short strings — they were here.”
Nikki Erlick, The Measure
