Andrew O'Hagan
“The past isn't really the past," Tully said. "It's just music, books, and films.”
Andrew O'Hagan, Mayflies

R.F. Kuang
“Every writer I know feels this way about someone else. Writing is such a solitary activity. You have no assurance that what you’re creating has any value, and any indication that you’re behind in the rat race sends you spiraling into the pits of despair. Keep your eyes on your own paper, they say. But that’s hard to do when everyone else’s papers are flapping constantly in your face.”
R.F. Kuang, Yellowface

R.F. Kuang
“Reading lets us live in someone else’s shoes. Literature builds bridges; it makes our world larger, not smaller.”
R.F. Kuang, Yellowface

Jacqueline Harpman
“Perhaps you never have time when you are alone? You only acquire it by watching it go by in others".”
Jacqueline Harpman, I Who Have Never Known Men

R.F. Kuang
“English did not just borrow words from other languages; it was stuffed to the brim with foreign influences, a Frankenstein vernacular. And Robin found it incredible, how this country, whose citizens prided themselves so much on being better than the rest of the world, could not make it through an afternoon tea without borrowed goods.”
R.F. Kuang, Babel
