"Bit doubtful how I'm going to get through this since even people who loved it are saying that it's quite a difficult book to read but I do love a challenge and, perhaps more importantly, I do love Le Guin" Jun 19, 2026 12:29AM

"Wow I mean... OK... As soon as I found out that David Cronenberg's Crash was an adaptation I knew I had to read the book. And it's... more graphic than the film by like, a lot?? But it's fine, it's fine, I like it so far." Jun 19, 2026 12:31AM

Doris Lessing
“We spend our lives fighting to get people very slightly more stupid than ourselves to accept truths that the great men have always known. They have known for thousands of years that to lock a sick person into solitary confinement makes him worse. They have known for thousands of years that a poor man who is frightened of his landlord and of the police is a slave. They have known it. We know it. But do the great enlightened mass of the British people know it? No. It is our task, Ella, yours and mine, to tell them. Because the great men are too great to be bothered. They are already discovering how to colonise Venus and to irrigate the moon. That is what is important for our time. You and I are the boulder-pushers. All our lives, you and I, we’ll put all our energies, all our talents into pushing a great boulder up a mountain. The boulder is the truth that the great men know by instinct, and the mountain is the stupidity of mankind.”
Doris Lessing, The Golden Notebook

James Baldwin
“People pay for what they do, and still more for what they have allowed themselves to become. And they pay for it very simply; by the lives they lead.”
James Baldwin

Oscar Wilde
“I was working on the proof of one of my poems all the morning, and took out a comma. In the afternoon I put it back again.”
Oscar Wilde

Margaret Atwood
“Nolite te bastardes carborundorum. Don't let the bastards grind you down.”
Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid’s Tale

Amy Tan
“I worried that Harold would someday get a new prescription for his glasses and he'd put them on one morning, look me up and down, and say, "Why, gosh, you aren't the girl I thought you were, are you?”
Amy Tan, The Joy Luck Club
