From Fernando Pessoa's The Book of Disquiet:
From Harper's:
From The New York Times (Celeste Ng on "What’s the last great book you read?"):
From The New York Times (Celeste Ng on "Whose writing today most inspires you?"):
From The Economist:
I'll never write a page that sheds light on me or on anything.
From Harper's:
It is possible, if a snail has a good memory and a bad memory stored on a single neuron, to erase just the bad one.
From The New York Times (Celeste Ng on "What’s the last great book you read?"):
I keep finding new great books, but since you asked for the last one: “The Tsar of Love and Techno,” by Anthony Marra. They’re interconnected stories about the Chechen-Russian wars, but really they’re about all the ways we try to reclaim the things and people we love after they’re gone. I got a galley of it ages ago, and only read it recently, and was blown away.
From The New York Times (Celeste Ng on "Whose writing today most inspires you?"):
Rebecca Solnit is a clarion voice of reason. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s work — both fiction and nonfiction. The poets Jane Hirshfield and Maggie Smith. And Heather Havrilesky’s “Ask Polly” column in New York magazine’s The Cut should be required reading for all humans.
From The Economist:
"early photography was almost uncannily predisposed to the creation of ghostly images”: if the light was affected during the long exposure period, or someone entered the frame briefly, it would result in a phantom image.
