"“But it is never truth that seems called for, only violence, and he has too much of the one in him now for any of the other. He can barely make a fist.
It’s not so bad in the end. They beat him but they don’t kill him.”"

M. John Harrison
“Despite rumors to the contrary, I’m a romantic and an idealist. What I write seems bleak, but it stems from my understanding of what people are: this raw, raging, aching bundle of desire. Of course we have to learn to handle that, both as writers and people.”

Flann O'Brien
“Your talk," I said, "is surely the handiwork of wisdom because not one word of it do I understand.”
Flann O'Brien, The Third Policeman

Czesław Miłosz
“Now I am not ashamed of my defeat.
One murky island with its barking seals
Or a parched desert is enough
To make us say: yes, oui, si.
"Even asleep we partake in the becoming of the world."
Endurance comes only from enduring.
With a flick of the wrist I fashioned an invisible rope,
And climbed it and it held me.”
Czesław Miłosz, Hymn O Perle

Olga Tokarczuk
“People have their fictions and believe what they have mutually agreed upon. But you know, it's not necessarily true that things are only like this or that... I urge you to create your own fiction, one that says it's you who's perfect, for instance.”
Olga Tokarczuk, The Empusium

Olga Tokarczuk
“The worst thing possible is to feel fully valued by others, and particularly – as I would put it – to be considered of standard value. It means we become literalized, and we come to a halt in the development that a lack of full appreciation prompts us to strive towards. When a person recognizes that he has become perfect and fulfilled, he should kill himself.”
Olga Tokarczuk, The Empusium
