Camille Bordas
“Do I have a personality?"
"What are you talking about?"
"Sometimes I think I don't. That other people do and I don't. That they're more real than me, or something.”
Camille Bordas, How to Behave in a Crowd

Ling  Ma
“Leisure, the problem with the modern condition was the dearth of leisure. And finally, it took a force of nature to interrupt our routines. We just wanted to hit the reset button. We just wanted to feel flush with time to do things of no quantifiable value, our hopeful side pursuits like writing or drawing or something, something other than what we did for money.”
Ling Ma, Severance

Patricia Lockwood
“The people who lived in the portal were often compared to those legendary experiment rats who kept hitting a button over and over to get a pellet. But at least the rats were getting a pellet, or the hope of a pellet, or the memory of a pellet. When we hit the button, all we were getting was to be more of a rat.”
Patricia Lockwood, No One Is Talking About This

Ling  Ma
“To live in a city is to live the life that it was built for, to adapt to its schedule and rhythms, to move within the transit layout made for you during the morning and evening rush, winding through the crowds of fellow commuters. To live in a city is to consume its offerings. To eat at its restaurants. To drink at its bars. To shop at its stores. To pay its sales taxes. To give a dollar to its homeless.

To live in a city is to take part in and to propagate its impossible systems. To wake up. To go to work in the morning. It is also to take pleasure in those systems because, otherwise, who could repeat the same routines, year in, year out?”
Ling Ma, Severance

“I no longer had words for the Somethingness of the world, and so it quietly receded.”
Jordan Kisner, Thin Places: Essays from In Between
