Shannen Greene
“Like an unanswered question: a blank space under a burning, thought-provoking question---an absence of context. An absence of explanation. An absence of knowledge---an absence of understanding.”
Shannen Greene, Similitude

Mandy Brownholtz
“She noted the way little pieces of yourself fall off like trash, gum wrappers and fuzz you pick off a sweater. In the same way you accumulate memories, spots of time adhere to your surroundings like stray hairs and static electricity, so that you spot them in the corner of your eye and wilt, awash with the heady sentiments of recollection. This is the problem, Viv would realize, when you've stayed in one place for far too long.”
Mandy Brownholtz, Rotten
