“At night I observe Venus, closely following the transitions of this beautiful Damsel. I prefer her as the Evening Star, when she appears as if out of nowhere, as if by magic, and goes down behind the Sun. A spark of eternal light. It is at Dusk that the most interesting things occur, for that is when simple differences fade away. I could live in everlasting Dusk.”
― Olga Tokarczuk, Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead

“Sometimes, when a Person feels Anger, everything seems simple and obvious. Anger puts things in order and shows you the world in a nutshell; Anger restores the gift of Clarity of Vision, which it’s hard to attain in any other state.”
― Olga Tokarczuk, Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead

“Anger always leaves a large void behind it, into which a flood of sorrow pours instantly, and keeps on flowing like a great river, without beginning or end.”
― Olga Tokarczuk, Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead

“But maybe the road split between:

a life spent longing vs. a life that was continually surprising”
― Miranda July, All Fours
