Karen Joy Fowler
“In everyone's life there are people who stay and people who go and people who are taken against their will.”
Karen Joy Fowler, We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves

Karen Joy Fowler
“No one would have liked that. Maybe I liked it even less. Here we go again, I said to myself. I said this so distinctly in my head that I heard it as well as said it. As if I was quite used to finding someone with no sense of boundaries in my space, fiddling with my things and breaking most of them. Here we go again”
Karen Joy Fowler, We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves

Milan Kundera
“Her kitsch was the image of home, all peace, quiet, and harmony, and ruled by a loving mother and a wise father. It was an image that took shape in her after the death of her parents. The less her life resembled the sweetest of dreams, the more sensitive she was to its magic, and more than once she shed tears when the ungrateful daughter in a sentimental film embraced the neglected father as the windows of the happy family's house shone out into the dying day.”
Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being

Karen Joy Fowler
“There are moments in history that seem like a mist, as if what really happens matters less that what should have happened. The mists lift suddenly and there we are, my good parents and their good children, their grateful children who phone for no reason but to talk, say their good-nights with a kiss, and look forward to home on the holidays. I see how, in a family like mine, love doesn't have to be earned and it can't be lost. Just for a moment I see us that way; I see us all. Restored and repaired. Reunited. Refulgent.”
Karen Joy Fowler, We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves

Margaret Atwood
“The human moral keyboard is limited, Adam One used to say: there's nothing you can play on it that hasn't been played before. And, my dear Friends, I am sorry to say this, but it has its lower notes.”
Margaret Atwood, The Year of the Flood
