Notes on a Marriage by Selma Carvalho
“Let me tell you about marriage. You wonder where
the bottom is in a marriage. Then you hit the bottom and
it gives way, and you discover there are further depths to
sink to, further degradations you’re willing to endure. You
sink lower and lower still. You lose yourself but you still
survive, because you have the will to survive. Nothing else
matters but your survival. Create a universe, populate it with thought, live in it. That’s how we survive, by creating our
own personal universe, that’s how I survived”

Notes on a Marriage”
Selma Carvalho, Notes on a Marriage

“I think about things then, and the transient nature of their lives, how momentary ownership of them does not imbue them with value; how their value is decided only by our need and willingness to possess them, and how vulnerable they are to abandonment.”
