"i’ve had to put this down for a bit because r f kuang misunderstanding schrödinger’s cat annoyed me on such a visceral level!! she uses it as an example of classical logic!!! ‘the cat must be dead or alive it can’t be both’. THE WHOLE POINT IS ABOUT UNDERSTANDING SIMULTANEITY. THE CAT IS LITERALLY SIMULTANEOUSLY DEAD AND ALIVE. THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT SHE SAYS. AGHHHHHHHHH" Feb 20, 2026 05:59AM

“We kissed. You were mine. I realised then that this was the only thing that counted. Nothing else had ever existed. Just our lips and hips and sighs. I fell into different galaxies through you, your mouth a porthole to a better universe.”
Tomasz Jedrowski, Swimming in the Dark

“Diary,
You don't know what it's like. To wake up and see her there.
But I do.
Draco”

R.F. Kuang
“Trying, he thought, to express some unutterable truth about themselves. Which was that translation was impossible. That the realm of pure meaning they captured and manifested would and could not ever be known. That the enterprise of this tower had been impossible from inception. For how could there ever be an Adamic language? The thought now made him laugh. There was no innate, perfectly comprehensible language. There was no candidate - not English, not French - that could bully and absorb enough to become one. Language was just difference. A thousand different ways of seeing, of moving through the world. No, a thousand worlds within one. And translation, a necessary endeavor however futile, to move between them.”
R.F. Kuang, Babel

Philippe Besson
“In the end, love was only possible because he saw me not as who I was, but as the person I would become.”
Philippe Besson, Lie With Me

“I would drape my own soul over her body to protect her from eyes like mine.”
Chloe Michelle Howarth, Sunburn
