“Canto como si plantara,
como si hiciera una mesa,
como si alzara una casa,
como si trepara a una loma,
como si comiera una nuez,
como si encendiera una brasa.
Como Dios creando animales y plantas.
Canto yo y la montaña baila.”
― Irene Solà, Canto yo y la montaña baila

“Name one hero who was happy.”
― Madeline Miller, The Song of Achilles

“Love was there in my empty bed. It was piled up in the records Lauren bought me when we were teenagers. It was in the smudged recipe cards from my mum in between the pages of cookbooks in my kitchen cabinet. Love was in the bottle of gin tied with a ribbon that India had packed me off with; in the smeary photo-strips with curled corners that would end up stuck to my fridge. It was in the note that lay on the pillow next to me, the one I would fold up and keep in the shoebox of all the other notes she had written before. I woke up safe in my one-woman boat. I was gliding into a new horizon; floating in a sea of love. There it was. Who knew? It had been there all along.”
― Dolly Alderton, Everything I Know About Love
