Muriel Barbery
“People aim for the stars, and they end up like goldfish in a bowl. I wonder if it wouldn't be simpler just to teach children right from the start that life is absurd.”
Muriel Barbery, The Elegance of the Hedgehog

Jonathan Safran Foer
“I hope that one day you will have the experience of doing something you do not understand for someone you love.”
Jonathan Safran Foer, Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close

Colum McCann
“The world spins. We stumble on. It is enough.”
Colum McCann, Let the Great World Spin

“I float too much to wander, like you, in the real world. I envy it but that’s the dealio—you’re a train and I’m a train station and when I try to guess your trajectory I end up telling my own story. But you are my nomad and I love you sideways daily. Sideways because I have to beam my love in all directions, hoping it bounces off something and eventually finds you.”
Richard Silken

Paulo Coelho
“You have two choices, to control your mind or to let your mind control you.”
Paulo Coelho, Veronika Decides to Die
