“Three days
(so I hear)
she is without food,
keeps her body
pure of bread, longs to
run herself aground
in a sad secret death.

Is it a god inside you, girl?”
― Anne Carson, Grief Lessons: Four Plays by Euripides

“And now that you don't have to be perfect, you can be good.”
― John Steinbeck, East of Eden

“You can keep as quiet as you like, but one of these days somebody is going to find you.”
― Haruki Murakami, 1Q84

“Get a black suit and just freeload, problem it's too God damned late now even to be any of the things I never wanted to be.”
― William Gaddis, J R
