Haruki Murakami
“The human heart is like a night bird. Silently waiting for something, and when the time comes, it flies straight toward it.”
Haruki Murakami, Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage

Saul Bellow
“The revolutions of the twentieth century, the liberation of the masses by production, created private life but gave nothing to fill it with.”
Saul Bellow, Herzog

Saul Bellow
“He was thinking of Marco, Daisy, Sono
Oguki, Madeleine, the Pontritters, and now and then of the difference between ancient and modern
tragedy according to Hegel, the inner experience of the heart and the deepening of individual
character in the modern age. His own individual character cut off at times both from facts and from
values. But modern character is inconstant, divided, vacillating, lacking the stone-like certitude of
archaic man, also deprived of the firm ideas of the seventeenth century, clear, hard theorems.”
Saul Bellow, Herzog

Viet Thanh Nguyen
“She cursed me at such length and with such inventiveness I had to check both my watch and my dictionary.”
Viet Thanh Nguyen, The Sympathizer

Karl Marx
“For as soon as the distribution of labour comes into being, each man has a particular, exclusive sphere of activity, which is forced upon him and from which he cannot escape. He is a hunter, a fisherman, a herdsman, or a critical critic, and must remain so if he does not want to lose his means of livelihood; while in communist society, where nobody has one exclusive sphere of activity but each can become accomplished in any branch he wishes, society regulates the general production and thus makes it possible for me to do one thing today and another tomorrow, to hunt in the morning, fish in the afternoon, rear cattle in the evening, criticise after dinner, just as I have a mind, without ever becoming hunter, fisherman, herdsman or critic.”
Karl Marx, The German Ideology / Theses on Feuerbach / Introduction to the Critique of Political Economy
