Claire Oshetsky Quotes

“Something was springing inside of me—spring flowers, the sound of rain, a friend who made me smile. My body, moving through space. An unraveling of every clenched muscle from all the years I’d spent tensing myself into shapes that kept me safe.”
― Claire Oshetsky, Evil Genius

“I tried to think optimistically, but nobody came. Time began to behave so strangely. Wait and see. Times like these come for us all. The particulars will be different, but times like these will surely come for you, and when they do, there will be no pulse in the world. No heartbeat. Seconds and minutes won't behave. One moment you'll be living through staccato time where everything feels sharp and bright and fast, and the next you'll be stuck in geologic time and you'll have turned to stone.”
― Claire Oshetsky, Evil Genius
