Kazuo Ishiguro
“And yet what precisely is “greatness”? […] I would say that it is the very lack of obvious drama or spectacle that sets the beauty of our land apart. What is pertinent is the calmness of that beauty, its sense of restraint. It is though the land knows of its own beuty, of its own greatness, and feels no need to shout it.”
Kazuo Ishiguro, The Remains of the Day

Octavia E. Butler
“Até mesmo um pouco de ficção pode ser útil [...] se você não precisar dessas informações, elas não serão prejudiciais. Você só vai saber um pouco mais do que antes.”
Octavia E. Butler, Parable of the Sower

Kazuo Ishiguro
“But what is the sense in forever speculating what might have happened had such and such a moment turned out differently? . . . while it is all very well to talk of 'turning points,' one can surely only recognize such moments in retrospect. Naturally, when one looks back to such instances today, they may indeed take the appearance of being crucial, precious moments in one's life; but of course, at the time, this was not the impression one had . . . There was surely nothing to indicate at the time that such evidently small incidents would render whole dreams forever irredeemable.”
Kazuo Ishiguro, The Remains of the Day

Ernest Hemingway
“If the others heard me talking out loud they would think that I am crazy. But since I am not, I do not care.”
Ernest Hemingway, The Old Man and the Sea

Octavia E. Butler
“Consigo tolerar muita dor sem me deixar abater. Tive que aprender a fazer isso. Mas foi difícil, hoje, continuar pedalando e acompanhar os outros quando todo mundo que eu via fazia com que me sentisse cada vez pior.”
Octavia E. Butler
