I ask, if I shall never see you again and fix my eyes on that solidity, what form will our communication take? You have gone across the court, further and further, drawing finer and finer the thread between us. But you exist somewhere. Something of you remains.
Virginia Woolf, from 'The Waves'

“My life is a great disaster. It’s a cruel divergence, it’s an empty house. But there’s a dog inside barking. As for me—all that’s left for me is to bark at God.”
— Clarice Lispector, from A Breath of Life, tr. Johnny Lorenz

“I’ll be so sweet to him, if he calls me. If he says he can’t see me tonight, I’ll say, “Why, that’s all right, dear. Why, of course it’s all right.” I’ll be the way I was when I first met him. Then maybe he’ll like me again. I was always sweet, at first. Oh, it’s so easy to be sweet to people before you love them… They don’t like you to tell them they’ve made you cry. They don’t like you to tell them you’re unhappy because of them. If you do, they think you’re possessive and exacting. And then they hate you. They hate you whenever you say anything you really think. You always have to keep playing little games. Oh, I thought we didn’t have to; I thought this was so big I could say whatever I meant. I guess you can’t, ever. I guess there isn’t ever anything big enough for that.”
— DOROTHY PARKER, from “A Telephone Call”. (via letterful)

I can’t stop thinking about when Susan Sontag said “I don’t feel guilt at being unsociable, though I may sometimes regret it because my loneliness is painful. But when I move into the world, it feels like a moral fall — like seeking love in a whorehouse.”

And sometimes
I want to win. And sometimes I want to lose so badly
I can taste it. To surrender everything I’m made of:
the neat, fenced acres of my separateness—
that little plot of land I’ve spent a life defending—
to let go until there’s nothing left of me
but that great vault we spoke of,
its endless dark, its pitiless silence.
— Danusha Laméris, from “Worlds in Worlds,” Bonfire Opera

“I want to talk about what happened without mentioning how much it hurt. There has to be a way. To care for the wounds without reopening them. To name the pain without inviting it back into me.”
