“The truth is you've already heard this. That this is what it's like. That it's what makes room for the universes inside you, all the endless inbent fractals of connection and symphonies of different voices, the infinities you can never show another soul. And you think it makes you a fraud, the tiny fraction anyone else ever sees? Of course you're a fraud, of course what people see is never you. And of course you know this, and of course you try to manage what part they see if you know it's only a part. Who wouldn't? It's called free will, Sherlock. But at the same time it's why it feels so good to break down and cry in front of others, or to laugh, or speak in tongues, or chant in Bengali--it's not English anymore, it's not getting squeezed through any hole.”
― David Foster Wallace, Oblivion

“They are forever, a brief and mortal forever, a forever that will grow into their bones and be held inside them after it ends, intact, indestructible.”

“What did i expect ?

To leave a hemorrhage
of violets wherever I walked ?

No. A lost son is called prodigal.
A lost daughter is just called lost”
― Emily Rose Cole, Love & a Loaded Gun

“Am I happy? is one of those questions that, if it has got to be asked, more or less dictates its own answer.”
