Durga Chew-Bose
“It’s as though I miscarried all that glee we are entitled to in childhood.”
Durga Chew-Bose, Too Much and Not the Mood: Essays

Durga Chew-Bose
“How there's no going back to whatever version of me existed before ... I read Marguerite Duras's account of a river and its current, a girl, a lover, a mother, of memory's weakness for women and gold lame heels. Or when I was woken up by the news and this planet's despairing chorus-how it dislocates the heart and coaxes cynics and makes a mass out of individuals. Or whatever version of me existed before I met that boy whom I loved for one winter and well into spring, when the magnolias in early bloom looked not just pink but elaborate, ambient, and grand, like my insides were seeable-flowering so forcefully, like nature cautioning me: Durga, this won't last.”

“How many versions of happiness involve a smile? Are determined by feeling fulfilled?”
Durga Chew-Bose, Too Much and Not the Mood: Essays

Caleb Azumah Nelson
“But even if this seed grows, even if the body lives, breathes, flourishes, there is no guarantee of reciprocation. Or that you’ll ever see them again.”
Caleb Azumah Nelson, Open Water

Brandon  Taylor
“It seemed sad that it would fade or that things had to end. When he was a child, that had depressed him. When his mother read him stories, he’d bawl at the end even if the little duck found its way back to its mother or the bears and the girl became friends or green eggs and ham were eaten. It didn’t matter if the story had a happy ending or if things turned out okay and all the scary things were put away. He hated that vertiginous feeling of things ending. That sense of the world dropping off under his feet.”
Brandon Taylor, Filthy Animals
