David Rakoff
“What remains of your past if you didn't allow yourself to feel it when it happened? If you don't have your experiences in the moment, if you gloss them over with jokes or zoom past them, you end up with curiously dispassionate memories.”
David Rakoff, Fraud

Jhumpa Lahiri
“Try to remember it always," he said once Gogol had reached him, leading him slowly back across the breakwater, to where his mother and Sonia stood waiting. "Remember that you and I made this journey together to a place where there was nowhere left to go.”
Jhumpa Lahiri, The Namesake

Claudia Rankine
“Charlotte: Racism exists outside of reason. Black people have never been human.
Charles: That is so hopeless.
Charlotte: Go further into that hopelessness, and then we can really begin to see each other.”
Claudia Rankine, The White Card: A Play
