“I feel like a part of my soul has loved you since the beginning of everything.
Maybe we’re from the same star.”
Emery Allen

Agustina Bazterrica
“there are words that cover up the world.”
Agustina Bazterrica, Tender Is the Flesh

Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
“When I looked around, I saw and heard of none like me. Was I then a monster, a blot upon the earth, from which all men fled, and whom all men disowned?”
Mary Shelley

R.F. Kuang
“He brushed his lips against her forehead as he drove the knife deeper into her back.”
R.F. Kuang, The Dragon Republic

Virginia Woolf
“Finally, to hinder the description of illness in literature, there is the poverty of the language.  English, which can express the thoughts of Hamlet and the tragedy of Lear, has no words for the shiver and the headache.  It has all grown one way.  The merest schoolgirl, when she falls in love, has Shakespeare or Keats to speak her mind for her; but let a sufferer try to describe a pain in his head to a doctor and language at once runs dry.  There is nothing ready made for him.  He is forced to coin words himself, and, taking his pain in one hand, and a lump of pure sound in the other (as perhaps the people of Babel did in the beginning), so to crush them together that a brand new word in the end drops out.  Probably it will be something laughable.”
Virginia Woolf, On Being Ill
