Donald Barthelme
“There was a certain amount of initial argumentation about the "meaning" of the balloon; this subsided, because we have learned not to insist on meanings, and they are rarely even looked for now, except in cases involving the simplest, safest phenomena.”
Donald Barthelme, Unspeakable Practices, Unnatural Acts

Neda Aria
“And if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that in the transgressive romance, the only true taboo is being dull.”
Neda Aria
