Claire-Louise Bennett
“We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another; unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another. The past, present, and future mingle and pull us backward, forward, or fix us in the present. We are made up of layers, cells, constellations.”
Claire-Louise Bennett, Checkout 19

Hélène Cixous
“People do not see you,
They invent you and accuse you.”
Hélène Cixous

“I’m not trying to repeat the sagas. I make my own stories and I’m very obsessed with not being nostalgic, because I think that 90 percent of the world is too nostalgic. They don’t have the courage to face the present and make stories that are relevant today, about life today... I want people to do more of that.”
Björk

“Being happy is for what?”
Clarice Lispector, Near to the Wild Heart

“I write in lieu of love, to fill that empty space above death.”
Annie Ernaux, Getting Lost
