― Jorge Luis Borges

“And hand in hand, on the edge of the sand,
They danced by the light of the moon.”

“Being a woman is difficult. I can see why my mother didn’t like her own gender. We can do so much. Give so much. But not everyone wants what we’re offering. And in the end, we’re left with…pieces of a whole. Shards. Splinters. Chips. Pick them up, they cut our hands. Leave them on the ground, they cut our feet. It’s hard for us to just walk away.”
― Alka Joshi, The Perfumist of Paris
