Shades of Grey: A Novel | Jasper Fforde
post image

"After all, colour in itself has no colour - it's simply a construction of the mind: a sensation, like the Humming Chorus from Madam Butterfly and the smell of honeysuckle."

Jasper Fforde, Shades of Grey
Glass sculpture by Glass Baron

Identity: A Novel | Milan Kundera
post image

"To ensure that the self doesn't shrink, to see that it holds on to its volume, memories have to be watered like potted flowers, and the watering calls for regular contact with witnesses of the past, that is to say, with friends."
Milan Kundera, Identity
