From The TLS (Ottessa Moshfegh on "Which of your contemporaries will be read 100 years from now?"):
Amie Barrodale is the most important writer of my generation. Her stories should be studied and worshipped. She is a savant and a genius both. I think human consciousness might actually need 100 years to catch up to her brilliance.

From The Economist:
Tesla is one of a tiny cohort of firms with a license to lose billions pursuing a dream. The odds of them achieving it are similar to those of aspiring pop stars and couture designers.

From Teju Cole's Known and Strange Things:
We are our habits in sum.

From Fernando Pessoa's The Book of Disquiet:
The funny thing is that, while it's difficult to formulate a definition that truly distinguishes man from animals, it's easy to differentiate between the superior man and the common man.

From Harper's:
Trustworthy, addictive, unkind, educated middle-aged women are especially susceptible to romance scams.
