“Always becoming, never arriving. Life is at a standstill - only ideas flash past. In such confusion I find myself running after them: Hey! Stop! Stop! But they escape, leaving me staring at a grey English spring.”
― Derek Jarman, Modern Nature

“You can’t let the apocalypse rule your life.”
― Michelle Tea, Black Wave

“To be a butch girl in high school, to be better at masculinity than all the men around you, and then to be punished for it!”

“For some people, their lives are ruled by one shocking event reverberating through their survival instincts. Life shrinks into a trap made up of a shimmering moment in the past, a trap where they endlessly repeat that singular moment when they were surest of being alive. That moment is short, but long after it has passed, good times as well as bad slip like sand through their fingers as they meaninglessly repeat and confirm their survival.”
― Bora Chung, Cursed Bunny
