“I am writing because they told me to never start a sentence with because. But I wasn't trying to make a sentence—I was trying to break free. Because freedom, I am told, is nothing but the distance between the hunter and its prey.”

“Синдром на непринадлежащите
Никое време не ти принадлежи, никое място не е твое. Това, което търсиш, не търси теб, онова което сънуваш, не те сънува. Знаеш, че нещо е било твое на друго място и в друго време, защото все прекосяваш минали стаи и дни. Но ако си на вярното място, времето е друго. Ако си във вярното време, мястото е различно.
Нелечимо.”
― Георги Господинов, Time Shelter

“There is a Quichua riddle: El que me nombra, me rompe. Whatever names me, breaks me. The solution, your course, is "silence." But the truth is, anyone who knows your name can break you in two.”
― Carmen Maria Machado, In the Dream House

“Sometimes, when I’m careless, I think survival is easy: you just keep moving forward with what you have, or what’s left of what you were given, until something changes—or you realize, at last, that you can change without disappearing, that all you had to do was wait until the storm passes you over and you find that—yes—your name is still attached to a living thing.”
