“If you look closely you'll find all my lovers inscribed on my skin.”

“During her lectures, she explains the difference between the beautiful and the sublime this way: The stars are beautiful—diamonds, twinkles, something you can wish upon. The space in between the stars is the sublime—cold, black, and infinite, something that inspires awe and fear.”
― Jill Ciment, The Body in Question
