Samantha Harvey
“And now maybe humankind is in the late smash-it-all-up teenage stage of self-harm and nihilism, because we didn’t ask to be alive, we didn’t ask to inherit an earth to look after, and we didn’t ask to be so completely unjustly darkly alone.”
Samantha Harvey, Orbital

Kim Bo-young
“Misfortune shouldn’t be a punishment, just as happiness shouldn’t be a reward.”
Bo-Young Kim, I'm Waiting for You and Other Stories

“I guess I've just realized recently that I've been obsessed with this idea that you speak of - getting what one deserves, or not - it has made me bitter. But that's because it doesn't make any sense to begin with. What you deserve and what you get: there's no way to measure them. You get the world and the world gets you, who's swindling whom?”
Jacqueline Holland, The God of Endings

Sunyi Dean
“For here was the thing that no fairy tale would ever admit, but that she understood in that moment: love was not inherently good.

Certainly, it could inspire goodness. She didn’t argue that. Poets would tell you that love was electricity in your veins that could light a room. That it was a river in your soul to lift you up and carry you away, or a fire inside the heart to keep you warm.

Yet electricity could also fry, rivers could drown, and fires could burn; love could be destructive. Punishingly, fatally destructive.

And the other thing, the real bloody clincher of it all, was that the good and the bad didn’t get served up equally. If love were a balance of electric lights and electric jolts, two sides of an equally weighted coin, then fair enough. She could deal.

That wasn’t how it worked, though. Some love was just the bad, all the time: an endless parade of electrified bones and drowned lungs and hearts that burned to a cinder inside the cage of your chest.

And so she looked down at her son and loved him with the kind of twisted, complex feeling that came from having never wanted him in the first place; she loved him with bitterness, and she loved him with resignation. She loved him though she knew no good could ever come from such a bond.”
Sunyi Dean, The Book Eaters

Yan Ge
“I understood now that his innocence didn't come from not knowing anything, but rather from having seen everything there was to see, understanding it, and setting it down.”
Yan Ge, Strange Beasts of China
