“We did not have books on Emerson. That place where we lost our language, lost ourselves. They told us we had no history but darkness, so they kept the books away for fear we might understand the truth better, and thus find those lost selves.”
Wayétu Moore, She Would Be King

Franz Kafka
“It's only because of their stupidity that they're able to be so sure of themselves.”
Franz Kafka, The Trial

“Loneliness while in the presence of others is a most cruel kind”
Wayétu Moore, She Would Be King

Charles Dickens
“I loved her against reason, against promise, against peace, against hope, against happiness, against all discouragement that could be.”
Charles Dickens, Great Expectations

Gillian Flynn
“As a child I don't remember ever telling Adora my favorite colour or what I'd like to name my daughter when I grew up. I don't think she ever knew my favorite dish and I certainly never padded down to her room in the early morning hours teary from nightmares. I always feel sad for the girl that I was because it never occurred to me that my mother might comfort me. She has never told me she loved me and I never assumed she did she tended to me she administrated me, oh yes, and one time she bought me lotion with vitamin E.”
Gillian Flynn, Sharp Objects
