John Boyne
“I had never considered myself to be a dishonest person, hating the idea that I was capable of such mendacity and deceit, but the more I examined the architecture of my life, the more I realized how fraudulent were its foundations. The belief that I would spend the rest of my time on earth lying to people weighed heavily on me and at such times I gave serious consideration to taking my own life.”
John Boyne, The Heart's Invisible Furies

“Why couldn't Ireland have been like this when I was a boy?”
John Boyne, The Heart's Invisible Furies

“Maybe there were no villains in my mother’s story at all. Just men and women, trying to do their best by each other. And failing.”
John Boyne, The Heart's Invisible Furies

André Aciman
“I belonged here the way I belonged to this planet and its people, but on one condition: alone, always alone.”
André Aciman, Enigma Variations

André Aciman
“But no one can prepare for the worst. The worst doesn't only dash hopes; it tears through everything in ways that are almost meant to hurt, to punish, to shame. Despite my most sobering forecasts, life can still play the cruelest card and scuttle everything—and just when I thought we were sailing past the shoals.”
André Aciman, Enigma Variations
