S.A. Cosby
“Folks like to talk about revenge like it’s a righteous thing but it’s just hate in a nicer suit,”
S.A. Cosby, Razorblade Tears

Sōsuke Natsukawa
“Books are filled with human thoughts and feelings. People suffering, people who are sad or happy, laughing with joy. By reading their words and their stories, by experiencing them together, we learn about the hearts and minds of other people besides ourselves. Thanks to books, it’s possible to learn not only about the people around us every day, but people living in totally different worlds.”
Sōsuke Natsukawa, The Cat Who Saved Books

Chris Hedges
“the Christian Right and radical Islamists, although locked in a holy war, increasingly mirror each other. They share the same obsessions. They do not tolerate other forms of belief or disbelief. They are at war with artistic and cultural expression. They seek to silence the media. They call for the subjugation of women. They promote severe sexual repression, and they seek to express themselves through violence.”
Chris Hedges, American Fascists: The Christian Right and the War On America

Georgia   Scott
“Love is not weakness. It's the bravest act of our lives.”
Georgia Scott, American Girl: Memories That Made Me

Sally Rooney
“Attachment, the cause of all suffering, so the Buddhists say. To cling to what you have, what you have had, the life you have known, the handful of people and places you have ever really loved, to cling and not let go. Never relenting, never accepting, becoming all the time more enmeshed, holding harder, loving and hating more.”
Sally Rooney, Intermezzo
