“To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never to forget.”
― Arundhati Roy, The Cost of Living

“We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospect.”
― Anais Nin

“those who escape hell
however
never talk about
it
and nothing much
bothers them
after
that.”
