“The thing that is liberating about literature is it offers us access to something greater than we are. Greater than our pain, greater than our personal experience, greater than the intensity I’ve talked about. Discovering literature is like gaining access to a world of extreme risk, of encounters with the enormity of life and death, but on a different plane. It can be a consolation. A form of consolation, but never enough to save a person.”
― Neige Sinno, Triste tigre

“whether I liked it or not, whether I chose to stifle it or shout it from the rooftops, I saw everything through the lens of rape. It’s still the case today: Even though now there are lulls when I can think about other things, even though it’s not always about that, often it still is. In that sense he won and there’s nothing I can do about it. Damaged for life.”
