Quotes by Emily Geminder (?)

“The greatest fear, I sometimes think, is that we are trapped: in bodies, in rooms, in time. Or the greatest fear is that we are not - that we can spill wide open. If one is, as Kafka says, dead in one's own lifetime, the heart thuds a traitorous song: alive, alive.”

“There are the usual ways of falling in love. Less talked about are the ways in which one person may decide to become another. To transform, to transfigure. To come through the slow sludge of metamorphosis and find oneself changed.”
― Emily Geminder, Dead Girls and Other Stories

“Sometimes I think I might have invented you. We’re always inventing each other, in a way. We need witnesses. We need witnesses—not many, even just one—to the impossibly long sentence we write with our days.”
― Emily Geminder, Dead Girls and Other Stories
