Anthony Burgess
“Every grain of experience is food for the greedy growing soul of the artist.”
Anthony Burgess

Neel Mukherjee
“Whoever said that time blunts all pain did not quite understand that bluntness can wound as grievously as sharp points and edges;”
Neel Mukherjee, The Lives of Others

Neel Mukherjee
“Not all family bonds are equal. The lie so assiduously propagated by mothers – ‘How can you ask who is my favourite? They are all my children, I love all of them equally. Are you partial to one finger of your hand over another?’ – is disbelieved by everyone, yet it is quite astonishing what pervasive currency it has in the outward show of lives. Everyone”
Neel Mukherjee, The Lives of Others

Richard Flanagan
“Evans understood that if Nakamura chose, it would be indiscriminately and their number would include the sickest—and perhaps most likely the sickest, because they were of least use to Nakamura—and that all of them would die. If, on the other hand, he, Dorrigo, chose, he could pick the fittest, the ones he thought had the best chance of living. And most would die anyway. That was his choice: to refuse to help the agent of death, or to be his servant.”
Richard Flanagan, The Narrow Road to the Deep North

Neel Mukherjee
“Numbers never lie; one can make them, of course, as one can make anything speak another story in another tongue, but they do not have the inherent falsehood that words carry.”
Neel Mukherjee, The Lives of Others
