“Miraculous. Joan recalls the existence of dogs, craft stores, painkillers, the public library. Cream ribboning through coffee. The scent of the lilacs near her childhood home. Brown sugar on a summer strawberry. Her father’s recovery from the tyranny of multigenerational alcoholism… The euphoria of the first warmth after winter, the first easy breath after a cold, the return of one’s appetite after an anxiety attack… These thoughts – how she can force herself to have them. Miraculous.”
Tess Gunty, The Rabbit Hutch

Terry Pratchett
“This is what thinking does for you, he thought. It gets you into trouble. Even when you know other people can think for themselves, you start thinking for them too.”
Terry Pratchett, The Amazing Maurice And His Educated Rodents

“I'm so sick of violence against women disguised as validation.”
Tess Gunty, The Rabbit Hutch

Terry Pratchett
“You will have worked out that there is a race in this world which steals and kills and spreads disease and despoils what it cannot use.

Yes, that's easy. It's called Humanity.”
Terry Pratchett, The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents

“In order for her life to be considered ethical, thinks Blandine, she must try to dismantle systemic injustice. But she doesn’t know how to do that.”
Tess Gunty, The Rabbit Hutch
