Quotes by R.A. Nelson (?)

“This is the thing about life I've never really understood until now: we try so hard to control it, but bad things happen anyway. The only real control is an anti-control, a letting go.”
― R.A. Nelson, Teach Me

“There is not a name for what I'm feeling. There is no description for it.
To call it yearning would be like calling the ocean water.
Whatever this thing is, it shoves you inside itself and you can't measure its boundaries because they go too far and you don't have enough time. Or you move toward the boundaries and they move away.
There has been an earthquake in my life.
Catastrophic, civilization-ending.”
― R.A. Nelson, Teach Me

“Why do people need other people so much? Why can't we just do our work and go home? Why do we have to talk and touch and dream together?”
