Kaveh Akbar
“For our species, the idea of art as ornament is a relatively new one. Our ape brains got too big, too big for our heads, too big for our mothers to birth them. So we started keeping all our extra knowing in language, in art, in stories and books and songs. Art was a way of storing our brains in each other’s. It wasn’t until fairly recently in human history, when rich landowners wanted something pretty to look at in winter, that the idea of art-as-mere-ornament came around. A painting of a blooming rose to hang on the mantel when the flowers outside the window had gone to ice. And still in the twenty-first century, it’s hard for folks to move past that. This idea that beauty is the horizon toward which all great art must march. I’ve never been interested in that. “As heaven spins, I fall into bedlam.”
Kaveh Akbar, Martyr!

“neither myths nor mysteries can hold a candle to the most infinitesimal spark of hope.”
N.K. Jemisin, The Fifth Season

Sally Rooney
“I'm not a religious person but I do sometimes think God made you for me.”
Sally Rooney, Normal People

“Tamquam,’ said Adam.
'Wait,’ said Ronan.
'Tamquam,’ he said again, gently.
'Alter idem,’ Ronan said, and found himself alone.”
Maggie Stiefvater, Call Down the Hawk

Françoise Sagan
“I would have liked to ask people: 'Are you in love?' or 'What are you reading?' but I never wondered what their job was, although to them it was often of prime importance.”
Françoise Sagan, Bonjour Tristesse / A Certain Smile
