Aimée Mcg

“There's a certain point in life at which you realise it's no longer interesting that time goes forward – or rather, that its forward-going-ness has been the central plank of life's illusion, and that while you were waiting to see what was going to happen next, you were steadily being robbed of all you had. Language is the only thing capable of stopping the flow of time, because it exists in time, is made of time, yet it is eternal – or can be.”
― Rachel Cusk, Second Place

“Your heart's desire is to be told some mystery. The mystery is that there is no mystery.”
― Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian, or, the Evening Redness in the West

“Come back! Even as a shadow, even as a dream.”
― Anne Carson, Grief Lessons: Four Plays by Euripides

“I had not been in love before.
It was like a wheel rolling downhill.”
― Anne Carson, Glass, Irony and God
