Julia Armfield
“I used to think there was such a thing as emptiness, that there were places in the world one could go and be alone. This, I think, is still true, but the error in my reasoning was to assume that alone was somewhere you could go, rather than somewhere you had to be left.”
Julia Armfield, Our Wives Under the Sea

Percival Everett
“At that moment the power of reading made itself clear and real to me. If I could see the words, then no one could control them or what I got from them. They couldn’t even know if I was merely seeing them or reading them, sounding them out or comprehending them. It was a completely private affair and completely free and, therefore, completely subversive.”
Percival Everett, James

Ágota Kristóf
“I had only one desire: to leave, to walk, to die, whatever. I wanted to get away, never come back, disappear, melt away into the forest, the clouds, no longer have memories, forget, forget.”
Ágota Kristof, Yesterday

“Make sure your identity isn’t based on something you might lose. You are not the size of your waist or your health or your job or someone else’s opinion of you.”
Meg Fee, Places I Stopped on the Way Home: A Memoir of Chaos and Grace

Vitomil Zupan
“Občutek imam, da prav nobena reč ne teče prav. Eno živimo na ven, drugo naznotraj; nobenega soglasja ni med obema vrstama življenja. Prav nič čudno ni, če nihče nikogar res ne spozna. Resnične podobe ljudi so neujemljive. Nihče ne spozna samega sebe, in še tisto kar je spoznal, skrbno skriva pred okolico. V tej omiki je vsakogar nekako usodno strah pred samim seboj in pred drugimi. Naslikamo si nekakšno čedno pročelje in ga kažemo svetu; zadaj, kaj pa je zadaj? Če že ne cel zverinjak naglavnih grehov - pa vsekakor nekaj drugačnega. Duh plaho prhuta med duhovi živih in mrtvih, telo rožlja po svetu v pisani opravi. Indijanci se poslikajo z barvami, mi z vrlinami. Potem se napijemo, pobesnimo, znorimo, povaljamo se po lastnem blatu; zbežimo v svoj brlog in spet nas je sram, kesamo se, izpovedujemo se, ližemo si rane. Ker nikoli nikjer ne moremo in ne smemo biti taki, kakor res smo. Od rojstva do smrti. Ena sama krinka, eno samo poslikano pročelje, eno samo sprenevedanje, eno samo poučevanje, ena sama tuja igra.”
Vitomil Zupan, Komedija človeškega tkiva
