Amy Tan
“Chaos is the penance for leisure.”
Amy Tan, The Bonesetter's Daughter

Arundhati Roy
“When you hurt people, they begin to love you less. That's what careless words do. They make people love you a little less.”
Arundhati Roy

Jeanette Winterson
“You’ll get over it…” It’s the clichés that cause the trouble. To lose someone you love is to alter your life for ever. You don’t get over it because ‘it” is the person you loved. The pain stops, there are new people, but the gap never closes. How could it? The particularness of someone who mattered enough to grieve over is not made anodyne by death. This hole in my heart is in the shape of you and no-one else can fit it. Why would I want them to?”
Jeanette Winterson, Written on the Body

Arundhati Roy
“I am completely a loner. In my head I want to feel I can be anywhere. There is a sort of recklessness that being a loner allows me.”
Arundhati Roy

John Berger
“What any true painting touches is an absence - an absence of which without the painting, we might be unaware. And that would be our loss.”
John Berger, The Shape of a Pocket
