Potent Quotable (October 2026)
“Making long pauses, and sometimes in an almost inaudible voice, he would keep speaking until sunrise, always addressing the fire, as if his words had to be burned as they were uttered.” -Hernan Diaz
“New but precarious, as if decrepitude had been built into them, the houses seemed eager to become ruins.” -Hernan Diaz
“As he became absorbed by the work, Hakan discovered a form of impassive care completely new to him. His detachment, he felt, was the only proper approach to tending to the wounded. Anything else, beginning with compassion and commiseration, could only degrade the suffers’ pain by likening it to a merely imaginary agony.” -Hernan Diaz
“Through countless frosts and thaws, he walked in circles wider than nations.” -Hernan Diaz
“Nothing left behind in the wilderness could be retrieved. Every encounter was final. Nobody came back from the horizon. It was impossible to return to anything or anyone. Whatever was out of sight was forever lost.” -Hernan Diaz
Be good to each other,
