“They wordlessly excused each other for not loving each other as much as they had planned to. There were empty rooms in the house where they had meant to put their love, and they worked together to fill these rooms with midcentury modern furniture.”
Miranda July, No One Belongs Here More Than You

Roxane Gay
“That's because we can never let it go. Because where would we put it? What system? What faith? What institution has room? Has patience? Has understanding for an angry woman?”
