"“my dad who can psychically detect jews but is not bigoted towards them” and “accidentally snitching on my uncle’s prostitute” are both great bits and we’ve barely started" — Jan 21, 2026 09:35PM

Mache’s Quotes

“It took me till I was lying among the Rats and Vermin, upon the freezing edge of a Future invisible, to understand that my name had never been my own,— rather belonging, all this time, to the Authorities, who forbade me to change it, or withhold it, as ’twere a Ring upon the Collar of a Beast, ever waiting for the Lead to be fasten’d on. . . .”
― Thomas Pynchon, Mason & Dixon

“Once I realized that I inevitably fail whenever I try to navigate borders, I decided to stay within the confines of my house as much as possible. And since this house has many windows, through which the neighbours and their children can easily see me, and catch me trespassing borders even when I’m in my own house, I hung the curtains, although I’ll inevitably forget to close them sometimes.”
― Adania Shibli, Minor Detail
