Sally Rooney
“You can love more than one person, she said. That's arguable. Why is it any different from having more than one friend? You're friends with me and you also have other friends, does that mean you don't really value me? I don't have other friends, I said.”
Sally Rooney, Conversations with Friends

“I think I only appear smart by staying quiet as often as possible.”
Sally Rooney, Conversations with Friends

Jonathan Franzen
“I'm starting to think paradise isn't eternal contentment. It's more like there's something eternal about feeling contented. There's no such thing as eternal life, because you're never going to outrun time, but you can still escape time if you're contented, because then time doesn't matter.”
Jonathan Franzen, Purity

Milan Vaishnav
“The failure of India's public institutions to keep pace with the dramatic political, economic and social transformations under way has led to severe gaps in governance. The end result of this disjuncture has been a proliferation of grand corruption - a malaise made up of a diverse array of regulatory, extractive, and political rent-seeking activities.”
Milan Vaishnav, When Crime Pays: Money and Muscle in Indian Politics

Sally Rooney
“Maybe niceness is the wrong metric, I said. Of course it's really about power, Bobbi agreed. But it's harder to work out who has the power, so instead we rely on 'niceness' as a kind of stand-in. I mean this is an issue in public discourse. We end up asking like, is Israel 'nicer' than Palestine.”
Sally Rooney, Conversations with Friends
