Olivia Manning
“They have,’ she said, ‘the uniformity of their insecurity.”
Olivia Manning, Fortunes of War: The Balkan Trilogy

Tig Notaro
“When you think you have all the time in the world, hanging up on a loved one seems fine, something to fix later.”
Tig Notaro, I'm Just a Person

Diane Ackerman
“On the other hand, one can turn bronco riding into drudgery. One can create mildly. One can live at a low flame. Most people do. We’re afraid to look foolish, or feel too extravagantly, or make a mistake, or risk unnecessary pain. One fears intensity. But, given something like death, what does it matter if one looks foolish now and then, or tried too hard, or cares too deeply? A shallow life creates a world as flat as a shadow. In that half-light, the sun never burns, risks recede, safety becomes habit, and individuals have little to teach one another.”
Diane Ackerman, Deep Play

Antonio Gramsci
“The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born: now is the time of monsters.”
Antonio Gramsci

China Miéville
“None of us have to obey instructions. I consider my own existence proof of that. So much of life is cobbled together when plans go awry. That is often where happiness comes from.”
China Miéville, Three Moments of an Explosion
