I have always been a creature of habit, he said. I was a creature of habit before I married and I remained one after my marriage.

Gaurav Sagar is on page 41 of 130 of Tell Me How it Ends: An Essay in Forty Questions
The priority juvenile docket, in sum, was the government's coldest, cruelest possible answer to the arrival of refugee children. Ethically, that answer was more than questionable. In legal terms, it was a kind of backdoor escape route to avoid dealing with an impending reality suddenly knocking at the country's front doors.

Gaurav Sagar is finished with The Red Laugh
And sure enough, they were lying close together, arm to arm, and their naked feet were touching us. And suddenly they stirred and swayed and rose up in the same orderly rows: the earth was throwing up new bodies, and they were lifting the first ones upwards.

...That's the red laugh. When the earth goes mad, it begins to laugh like that. You know, the earth has gone mad. There are no more flowers or songs on it; it has become round, smooth and red like a scalped head. Do you see it >\?

In the daytime I can still fight against it, but during the night I become, as everybody else does, the slave of my dreams- and my dreams are terrible and full of madness....

Gaurav Sagar is on page 62 of 118 of The Red Laugh
They had detached themselves from me, those madly quivering fingers, they were alive, they had become ears and eyes; and, growing cold from horror, without the strength to move or cry out, I watched their wild dance over the clean, bright white page.

To the left of me a row of dim lights floated past- it was the train. I was alone- amidst the dead and dying.

.....I am going mad from dirt, while you talk of - home! I am like an animal, I despise myself, I cannot recognize myself, and death is not at all terrifying.

Being able to remain on that dizzying crest- that is integrity and the rest is subterfuge.

The Myth of Sisyphus

Gaurav Sagar
Gaurav Sagar is on page 65 of 81 of Death Sentence
My madness no longer arose from my uneasiness nor from my concern for Nathalie, but from an impatience which grew with each passing minute and which went beyond any purpose, turning me into a wanderer in search of nothing.

Death Sentence

Gaurav Sagar
Gaurav Sagar is on page 52 of 81 of Death Sentence
But it was there that my weakness lay - not in the fight itself, which sought only one outcome, but in my misguided lucidity, which made me assume that it had a different outcome and denounce its intentions.

That night she stood outside his room and listened to him whimper. The sound was a series of weak cries, half cries, dull and uniform, and it had a faint echo, a feedback, and carried a desolation that sept aside words, hers or anyone's.

Gaurav Sagar is on page 83 of 87 of Waiting for Godot
One day, is that enough for you, one day like any other day, one day he went dumb, one day I went blind, one day we'll go deaf, one day we were born, one day we shall die, the same day, the same second, is that not enough for you? They give birth astride of a grave, the light gleams an instant, then it's night once more.

I ran to him, and there, up against the cliff in between the white shells, a higuerilla was growing. I looked for a long time at its rough leaves, its coarse stem, its pods covered in spikes that cut any hand that tries to caress them. My eyes clouded over.

When everything had grown dark and silent, Astrides lifted the flowerpot over his head and dashed it to the ground. The sound of the pottery smashing brought him to his senses: in every shard he recognized a piece of his broken dream. And he felt a terrible sense of shame, as if a dog had just urinated on him

there he is then at last that one of us there we are then at last who listens to himself and who when he lends his ear to our murmur does no more than lend it to a story of his own devising ill-inspired ill- told and so ancient so forgotten at each telling that ours may seem faithful that we murmur to the mud to him.
