Book cover for Remarkably Bright Creatures
Tova has always felt more than a bit of empathy for the sharks, with their never-ending laps around the tank. She understands what it means to never be able to stop moving, lest you find yourself unable to breathe.

Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr.
“Old books, as you well know, are books of the world's youth, and new books are fruits of its age. How many of all these ancient folios round me are like so many old cupels? The gold has passed out of these long ago, but their pores are full of the dross with which it was mingled.”
Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr., The "breakfast-table" Series, Volume 1

Émile Zola
“We are like books. Most people only see our cover, the minority read only the introduction, many people believe the critics. Few will know our content”
Émile Zola

Samuel R. Delany
“Statistically, you've got a better chance of going to Hollywood and becoming a superstar in the movies than you do of becoming a successful writer.”
Samuel R. Delany

Patrícia Melo
“You never imagine that a guy like this, a Wittgenstein reader and yoga fan, will hit you in the face at a lawyers’ New Year’s Eve party. But the statistics show that it happens a lot. And that lots of men don’t stop at a slap. They’d actually rather kill you.”
Patrícia Melo, The Simple Art of Killing a Woman

Patrícia Melo
“It doesn't matter where you are or what social class you belong to and it doesn't matter what you do for a living. It's dangerous being a woman.”
Patrícia Melo, The Simple Art of Killing a Woman
