“Not everyone has to be literate, there are some great reasons for resisting language, and one of them is love.”
― Miranda July, No One Belongs Here More Than You

“Morning or evening, Friday or Sunday - it didn't matter, it was all the same - grinding, agonizing pain, never for a moment relenting; an awareness of life hopelessly slipping away but not yet gone; the same terrible, relentless approach of hateful death, the only reality; and still all that lying. With all of this, what did the days, weeks and hours matter?”
― Leo Tolstoy, The Death of Ivan Ilych

“You cannot engrave on water
nor wound it with a knife,
which is why
the river
has no fear
of memories.”
― Girish Karnad, Hayavadana

“The place for literature is built by writers and readers. It’s a fragile place in some ways, but an indestructible one. When it’s broken, we rebuild it. Because we need shelter. I very much like the idea of literature that is needed. Literature that provides shelter. Shelter of all kinds.”
― Arundhati Roy, Azadi: Freedom. Fascism. Fiction.
