Fleur Jaeggy
“You can call me a thief if you like, a thief of ceremonies”
Fleur Jaeggy, The Water Statues

Valentine Glass
“I don't have much practice sitting in men's laps ... outside mall Santas when I was a little girl.”
Valentine Glass, The Temptation of Eden

Fleur Jaeggy
“The bell rings, we get up. The bell rings again, we go to bed. We retire to our rooms; we saw life pass by beneath our windows, observed it in books and on our walks, watched the seasons change. It was always a reflection, a reflection that seemed to freeze on our windowsills... We imagined the world. What else can we imagine now if not our own deaths? The bell rings and it's all over.”
Fleur Jaeggy, Sweet Days of Discipline

Fleur Jaeggy
“I've found it hard sometimes to turn my back on the natural call of the waves, and I don't envy the temperament of vultures or of stars. The blinds at my windows have been fluttering for fifty years.”
Fleur Jaeggy, The Water Statues

Pratik Thakker
