Quotes by Lucy Ives  (?)

“Isobel, meanwhile, rustled in her corner. She always seemed to travel with at least one plastic bag stuffed with irregular papers, as if she were constructing a very large hamster bed somewhere.”
Lucy Ives, Life Is Everywhere

“I waited to be hurt, because this was a form of hope.”
Lucy Ives, Impossible Views of the World

“We monads cannot get over the fact that we can’t fully know one another. Well survival each other until the cows come home and pretend it’s for marketing or science or spy craft. But really all this data is just a burnt offering to a god who withdrew long ago, leaving us the mute earth and also the vestiges of good and evil. And I guess we’re free to care about, or even date, these vestiges, if we so choose.”
Lucy Ives, Cosmogony: Stories
