“The thing that is liberating about literature is it offers us access to something greater than we are. Greater than our pain, greater than our personal experience, greater than the intensity I’ve talked about. Discovering literature is like gaining access to a world of extreme risk, of encounters with the enormity of life and death, but on a different plane. It can be a consolation. A form of consolation, but never enough to save a person.”

“It's incredible to me that you're still getting mileage out of your mother's suicide. You're still using it as currency, even though it has nothing to do with what you did. In fact, It's kind of psychotic that you're spending that currency on this moment. When will it run out?”

“Com uma criança, a porta está sempre escancarada. Uma criança não pode abrir ou fechar a porta do consentimento. Não consegue chegar à maçaneta. Simplesmente, não está ao seu alcance.”
