Nghi Vo
“When you love a thing too much, it is a special kind of pain to show it to others and to see that it is lacking.”
Nghi Vo, When the Tiger Came Down the Mountain

Nghi Vo
“Your departure crashes like a thunder, and the timbers of the house shake with the force of the space you left behind.”
Nghi Vo, When the Tiger Came Down the Mountain

Yōko Ogawa
“I needed this eternal truth [...] I needed the sense that this invisible world was somehow propping up the visible one, that this one, true line extended infinitely, without width or area, confidently piercing through the shadows. Somehow, this line would help me find peace.”
Yōko Ogawa, The Housekeeper and the Professor

Yōko Ogawa
“In my imagination, I saw the creator of the universe sitting in some distant corner of the sky, weaving a pattern of delicate lace so fine that even the faintest light would shine through it. The lace stretches out infinitely in every direction, billowing gently in the cosmic breeze. You want desperately to touch it, hold it up to the light, rub it against your cheek. And all we ask is to be able to re-create the pattern, weave it again with numbers, somehow, in our own language; to make even the tiniest fragment our own, to bring it back to earth.”
Yōko Ogawa, The Housekeeper and the Professor

Tove Jansson
“The garnets,' Sniff moaned. 'I didn't get a single one.'
Snufkin sat down beside him and said kindly: 'I know. But that's how it is when you start wanting to have things. Now I just look at them, and when I go away I carry them in my head. Then my hands are always free, because I don't have to carry a suitcase.”
Tove Jansson, Comet in Moominland
