Disposability Quotes

“it is
a bitter thing to be
the disposable animal,
a bitter thing.”
― Louise Glück, The Wild Iris

“The thing I hated most about moving was having to buy everything all over again; all the household objects, from furniture to silverware, that you find in any home. Normally, you buy them with the idea that they are going to last over time, be part of your everyday life, and have a history. For a fugitive, it’s different: the only criterion is temporary use, and so each and every object necessarily loses its worth. I thought of them as non-objects, the non-possessions of a non-person living a non-life.”
― Massimo Carlotto, Il fuggiasco
