Book reccomendations in the academic spirit

[turning-pages-seeking-sages]

“To live is to be vulnerable. A thin membrane of a soap bubble separates one from impenetrable hell. Ice on the road. The unlucky division of an aging cell. A child picks up a pill from the floor. Words stick to each other, line up, obedient to the great harmony of speech...”

Alexandra “Sasha” Samokhina | Character Study (the vita nostra series)

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ↳ “ Sasha realized with all her core being something that many understood before her: The creature did not care that Sasha was loved by someone. And that she loved someone herself. And that she had had a childhood, and she had splashed on the seashore; and that she had an old knit sweater with a reindeer embroidered on the front. There were plenty of people loved by someone, the ones who carried a seashell, a button, or a black-and-white photograph in their pockets. But no one had ever been saved by memories, no one had been protected by words and pledges, and those loved greatly by others died too. ”

Assassin of Reality by Marina Dyachenko

[turning-pages-seeking-sages]

“She knew herself to be a word spoken by the sunlight. She laughed at the fear of death. She understood what she was born for and what she was destined to carry out. All this happened while the lightning remained in the sky, a white flash.”

- Marina and Sergey Dyachenko, Vita Nostra
