Rudy’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for Piranesi
Piranesi by Susanna Clarke
1 highlight
They were all enamoured with the idea of progress and believed that whatever was new must be superior to what was old. As if merit was a function of chronology!

Rudy’s Quotes

“And I came to recognize that, no matter how difficult the reality, you mustn’t let yourself be beaten. You must have a strong will. You have to summon what you know is right from your innermost depths and follow it.”
― Masaji Ishikawa, A River in Darkness: One Man's Escape from North Korea
