    Italo Calvino
    “Why d’you make me suffer?"
    “Because I love you.”
    Now it was his turn to get angry. “No, no, you don’t love me! People in love want happiness, not pain!”
    “People in love want only love, even at the cost of pain.”
    “Then you’re making people suffer on purpose.”
    “Yes, to see if you love me.”
    The Baron’s philosophy would not go any further. “Pain is a negative state of the soul.”
    “Love is all.”
    “Pain should always be fought against.”
    “Love refuses nothing.”
    “Some things I’ll never admit.”
    “Oh yes, you do, now, for you love me and you suffer.”

    Han Kang
    “Is it true that human beings are fundamentally cruel? Is the experience of cruelty the only thing we share as a species? Is the dignity that we cling to nothing but self-delusion, masking from ourselves the single truth: that each one of us is capable of being reduced to an insect, a ravening beast, a lump of meat? To be degraded, slaughtered - is this the essential of humankind, one which history has confirmed as inevitable?”
