Xóchitl González
“Catastrophe can be a course correction.”
Xóchitl González, Anita de Monte Laughs Last

Andrew Solomon
“Love is circumstantial; we can love anyone if need be; and losing the one we love is the singular catastrophe. Time does not heal it. Every present moment yearns for even the roughest past.”
Andrew Solomon
