Henry Miller
“Kafka's long nightmares were but a preparation for the actual horrors we were to experience even to a greater degree.”
Henry Miller, Sextet: Six essays

Kazuo Ishiguro
“The horror of that image has never diminished, but it has long ceased to be a morbid matter; as with a wound on one's own body, it is possible to develop an intimacy with the most disturbing of things.”
Kazuo Ishiguro, A Pale View of Hills
