Muriel Spark
“On the first day of his holiday Laurence Manders woke to hear his grandmother’s voice below.
‘I’ll have a large wholemeal. I’ve got my grandson stopping for a week, who’s on the BBC. That’s my daughter’s boy, Lady Manders. He won’t eat white bread, one of his fads.’
Laurence shouted from the window, ‘Grandmother, I adore white bread and I have no fads.”
Muriel Spark, The Comforters

“Lust opens your eyes, passion opens your heart, but love opens your soul.”
Matshona Dhliwayo

Madeleine Thien
“The only life that matters is in your mind. The only truth is the one that lives invisibly, that waits even after you close the book. Silence, too, is a kind of music. Silence will last.”
Madeleine Thien, Do Not Say We Have Nothing

“Humanity, it seemed, was looking for a new direction and believed the Community would provide it.”
Carole Hailey, The Silence Project

Emma Healey
“But it’s not true. I forget things—I know that—but I’m not mad. Not yet. And I’m sick of being treated as if I am. I’m tired of the sympathetic smiles and the little pats people give you when you get things confused, and I’m bloody fed up with everyone deferring to Helen rather than listening to what I have to say.”
Emma Healey, Elizabeth Is Missing
