Arundhati Roy
“When she listened to songs that she loved on the radio, something stirred inside her. A liquid ache spread under her skin, and she walked out of the world like a witch.”
Arundhati Roy, The God of Small Things

Samuel Beckett
“Dance first. Think later. It's the natural order.”
Samuel Beckett

Arundhati Roy
“The way her body existed only where he touched her. The rest of her was smoke.”
Arundhati Roy, The God of Small Things

Hunter S. Thompson
“I wanted to take off all my clothes and never wear them again.”
Hunter S. Thompson, The Rum Diary

Arundhati Roy
“I'm trained as an architect; writing is like architecture. In buildings, there are design motifs that occur again and again, that repeat -- patterns, curves. These motifs help us feel comfortable in a physical space. And the same works in writing, I've found. For me, the way words, punctuation and paragraphs fall on the page is important as well -- the graphic design of the language. That was why the words and thoughts of Estha and Rahel, the twins, were so playful on the page ... I was being creative with their design. Words were broken apart, and then sometimes fused together. "Later" became "Lay. Ter." "An owl" became "A Nowl." "Sour metal smell" became "sourmetal smell."

Repetition I love, and used because it made me feel safe. Repeated words and phrases have a rocking feeling, like a lullaby. They help take away the shock of the plot -- death, lives destroyed or the horror of the settings -- a crazy, chaotic, emotional house, the sinister movie theater.”
Arundhati Roy
