“Time has no meaning, space and place have no meaning, on this journey. All times can be inhabited, all places visited. In a single day the mind can make a millpond of the oceans. Some people who have never crossed the land they were born on have travelled all over the world. The journey is not linear, it is always back and forth, denying the calender, the wrinkles and lines of the body. The self is not contained in any moment or any place, but it is only in the intersection of moment and place that the self might, for a moment, be seen vanishing through a door, which disappears at once.”
― Jeanette Winterson, Sexing the Cherry

“You cannot make everyone think and feel as deeply as you do. This is your tragedy, because you understand them but they do not understand you.”

“He showed me his scars, and in return he let me pretend that I had none.”
