"350 pages to the end and I have to stop again cuz HOLY SMOKES book 4 isn’t easy to read y’all. At first I thought, yeah, I can handle this, not too graphic. But no no no, it’s too much! Resuming in a bit though cuz I love this book so much." May 29, 2019 03:33PM

Virginia Woolf
“The truth is, I often like women. I like their unconventionality. I like their completeness. I like their anonymity.”
Virginia Woolf

Samuel Beckett
“Memories are killing. So you must not think of certain things, of those that are dear to you, or rather you must think of them, for if you don’t there is the danger of finding them, in your mind, little by little.”
Samuel Beckett

Adrienne Rich
“in the nineteenth year and the eleventh month
speak your tattered Kaddish for all suicides:

Praise to life though it crumbled in like a tunnel
on ones we knew and loved

Praise to life though its windows blew shut
on the breathing-room of ones we knew and loved

Praise to life though ones we knew and loved
loved it badly, too well, and not enough

Praise to life though it tightened like a knot
on the hearts of ones we thought we knew loved us

Praise to life giving room and reason
to ones we knew and loved who felt unpraisable.

Praise to them, how they loved it, when they could.”
Adrienne Rich

Anton Chekhov
“Don't tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass.”
Anton Chekhov

Gabriel García Márquez
“The world must be all fucked up," he said then, "when men travel first class and literature goes as freight.”
Gabriel García Márquez
