Leo Tolstoy
“Nature seemed to breathe with pacifying beauty and power. Can it be that there is not enough space for man in this beautiful world, under those immeasurable, starry heavens? Is it possible that man's heart can harbour, amid such ravishing natural beauty, feelings of hatred, vengeance, or the desire to destroy his fellows? All the evil in man, one would think, should disappear on contact with Nature, the most spontaneous expression of beauty and goodness.”
Leo Tolstoy, The Death of Ivan Ilych and Other Stories

Emily R. Austin
“I feel simultaneously intensely insignificant and hyperaware of how important everyone is.”
Emily R. Austin, Everyone in This Room Will Someday Be Dead

Han Kang
“Now and then she finds herself wondering, and not out of self-pity, but with a detached, almost idle curiosity: If you could add up all the pills she’d ever taken, what would the total be? How many hours of pain has she lived through? As though life itself wished to impede her progress, she was brought up short again and again. As though the force that prevents her moving forward to the light stands always at the ready inside her own body. All those hours when she had lost her way, in hesitation and in doubt. How many would there be? How many small white pills?”
Han Kang,

Ronan Farrow
“In the end, the courage of women can't be stamped out. And stories - the big ones, the true ones - can be caught but never killed.”
Ronan Farrow, Catch and Kill: Lies, Spies, and a Conspiracy to Protect Predators

Jacqueline Harpman
“Is there a satisfaction in the effort of remembering that provides its own nourishment, and is what one recollects less important than the act of remembering? That is another question that will remain unanswered: I feel as though I am made of nothing else.”
Jacqueline Harpman, I Who Have Never Known Men
