Chloé Caldwell
“Lily and I go outside to the patio. We are surrounded by dozens, maybe a hundred, females. I'm overwhelmed. That night, I know the definition of yearning. I feel invisible. See me! Help me! I am hurting! Make me feel good. Someone who looks like you has put an ache in my heart.”
Chloe Caldwell, Women

Annie Ernaux
“I discovered what people are capable of, in other words, anything: sublime or deadly desires, lack of dignity, attitudes and beliefs I had found absurd in others until I myself turned to them. Without knowing it, he brought me closer to the world.”
Annie Ernaux, Simple Passion

Hanif Abdurraqib
“I propose, once again, that you are, in part, who loves you. Who might step outside of themselves to find whatever will heal you, return you to a place where you are loved.”
Hanif Abdurraqib, There's Always This Year: On Basketball and Ascension

Annie Ernaux
“The man who returned that evening wasn't the man I was carrying inside me throughout the year when he was here, and when I was writing about him. I shall never see that man again. Yet it is that surreal, almost non-existent last visit that gives my passion its true meaning, which is precisely to be meaningless, and to have been for two years the most violent and unaccountable reality ever.”
Annie Ernaux, Simple Passion

Jen Beagin
“and at one point she held my hand and asked what I was thinking, and I told her that you had once been a dolphin in the Banana River, that you had saved me from drowning, that it had felt too Disney to ever say out loud but that I wanted her to know me, I wanted to tell her more, to blow it wide open, and I nearly told her my real name, but I was too startled by her face, her faint smile, the way she nodded her head. I could tell she thought I was crazy, or making shit up, and I suppose I don't blame her. I stared at the deep, dark, dolphin-free Hudson, a real river with a swift current, and thought about trying again.”
Jen Beagin, Big Swiss
