“O computador é muito bom para editar suas ideias, e é muito bom para deixá-las prontas para publicar e lançá-las ao mundo, mas não é muito bom para gerar ideias. Há várias oportunidades para pressionar a tecla delete. O computador estimula o perfeccionista perturbado em nós – começamos a editar ideias antes de tê-las. O cartunista Tom Gauld diz que fica longe do computador até ter feito a maior parte da elaboração para suas tiras, porque, assim que o computador entra em cena, “as coisas já se encontram no rumo inevitável da finalização. Enquanto no meu caderno de esboços as possibilidades são infinitas”.”

“did you think i was a city
big enough for a weekend getaway
i am the town surrounding it
the one you've never heard of
but always pass through
there are no neon lights here
no skyscapers or statues
but there is thunder
for i make bridges tremble
i am not street meat i am homemade jam
thick enough to cut the sweetest
thing you lips will touch
i am not police sirens
i am the crackle of a fireplace
i'd burn you and you still
couldn't take your eyes off of me
cause i'd look so beautiful doing it
you'd blush
i am not a hotel room i am home
i am not the whiskey you want
i am the water you need
don't come here with expectations
and try to make a vacation out of me”

“I finally understand why people get tattoos of those they have lost. The need to proclaim not merely the loss but the love, the continuity. I am my father’s daughter. It is an act of resistance and refusal: grief telling you it is over and your heart saying it is not; grief trying to shrink your love to the past and your heart saying it is present.”
