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
“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

“if you are stuck somewhere small in your mind, somewhere unhappy or afraid or paralyzed or heartbroken, all of which are a kind of claustrophobic circling and circling, you might be able to reverse-engineer an expansion, shove yourself through into some larger mind place by putting yourself in the way of some vaster spaces in the world.”
Jordan Kisner, Thin Places: Essays Between Knowing and Nothing

Patricia Lockwood
“It was a mistake to believe that other people were not living as deeply as you were. Besides, you were not even living that deeply.”
Patricia Lockwood, No One Is Talking About This

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