„You’ve been assigned an identity since birth.“
— Libba Bray, Going Bovine
Forrás: Going Bovine (2009), p. 253
Kontextus: You’ve been assigned an identity since birth. Then you spend the rest of your life walking around in it to see if it really fits. You try on all these different selves and abandon just as many. But really it’s about dismantling all that false armor, getting down to what’s real.
„My favorite word is "redemption." I like both its meaning and the sound.“
Twenty-One Things You Don't Know About Me
Kontextus: My favorite word is "redemption." I like both its meaning and the sound. My least favorite word is "maybe." "Maybe" is almost always a "no" drawn out in cruel fashion.
„Balder holds up a completely blank rune. Wyrd. The beginning and the end. Fate.“
— Libba Bray, Going Bovine
Forrás: Going Bovine (2009), p. 338
Kontextus: Balder holds up a completely blank rune. Wyrd. The beginning and the end. Fate.
I don't know what that means, but it's not doing anything to uncreep me.
„I'm one of those people who has to write.“
Twenty-One Things You Don't Know About Me
Kontextus: I'm one of those people who has to write. If I don't write, I feel itchy and depressed and cranky. So everybody's glad when I write and stop complaining already.
„People always think they know other people, but they don’t. Not really.“
— Libba Bray, Going Bovine
Forrás: Going Bovine (2009), p. 178
Kontextus: People always think they know other people, but they don’t. Not really. I mean, maybe they know things about them, like they won’t eat doughnuts or they like action movies or whatever. But they don’t know what their friends do in their rooms alone at night or what happened to them when they were kids or if they feel fucked up and sad for no reason at all.
