Ottessa Moshfegh
“I wanted to hold onto the house the way you'd hold onto a love letter. It was proof that I had not always been completely alone in the world. But I think I was also holding on to the loss, to the emptiness of the house itself, as though to affirm that it was better to be alone than to be stuck with people who were supposed to love you, yet couldn't.”
Ottessa Moshfegh, My Year of Rest and Relaxation

“The greatest stories ever told trace a path through the charred and exalted landscape of romantic love.”
Elizabeth Lesser, Broken Open: How Difficult Times Can Help Us Grow
tags: love

Erica Jong
“There's no shame in loving life above death. Otherwise I would be dead. What use would that be to the gods, who will not die themselves?”
Erica Jong, Sappho's Leap
tags: death, life

Erica Jong
“I loved Aphrodite from the first and steeped myself in her legends. My mother told me that in ancient times her rituals were bloody and cruel, but I only half believed it.”
Erica Jong, Sappho's Leap

Ottessa Moshfegh
“I thought that if I did normal things—held down a job, for example—I could starve off the part of me that hated everything. If I had been a man, I may have turned to a life of crime.”
Ottessa Moshfegh, My Year of Rest and Relaxation
