“I’ve found myself leaving an event or a party paralysed with fear because of something that I’ve said, and spent the next couple of days worrying about what people would think of me.

Despite what I might believe, I am not the planet around which everyone else orbits.”
― Susan Calman, Cheer Up, Love: Adventures in Depression with the Crab of Hate

“I’ll love you, dear, I’ll love you
Till China and Africa meet,
And the river jumps over the mountain
And the salmon sing in the street”
― W.H. Auden
