Annie Ernaux
“Farklılıkların paradan kaynaklanabileceği hiç aklıma gelmezdi, insanların doğuştan temiz ya da pasaklı, zevk sahibi ya da sallapati olduğunu sanırdım. Ayyaşlık, konserve et, kenefin yanındaki çiviye asılmış gazete kağıtları, bunları kendilerinin seçtiğini ve böyle mutlu olduklarını sanırdım. Yığınla ders almak, kafa yormak, okumak gerekiyormuş böyle düşünmeyi bırakmak için, hele çocukken, insan her şeyin değişmez bir şekilde belirlenmiş olduğuna inanıyor.”
Annie Ernaux, Les Armoires Vides

Mario Vargas Llosa
“From the cave to the skyscraper, from the club to weapons of mass destruction, from the tautological life of the tribe to the era of globalization, the fictions of literature have multiplied human experiences, preventing us from succumbing to lethargy, self-absorption, resignation. Nothing has sown so much disquiet, so disturbed our imagination and our desires as the life of lies we add, thanks to literature, to the one we have, so we can be protagonists in the great adventures, the great passions real life will never give us. The lies of literature become truths through us, the readers transformed, infected with longings and, through the fault of fiction, permanently questioning a mediocre reality. Sorcery, when literature offers us the hope of having what we do not have, being what we are not, acceding to that impossible existence where like pagan gods we feel mortal and eternal at the same time, that introduces into our spirits non-conformity and rebellion, which are behind all the heroic deeds that have contributed to the reduction of violence in human relationships. Reducing violence, not ending it. Because ours will always be, fortunately, an unfinished story. That is why we have to continue dreaming, reading, and writing, the most effective way we have found to alleviate our mortal condition, to defeat the corrosion of time, and to transform the impossible into possibility.”
Mario Vargas Llosa
