“...But if a mirror ever makes
you sad

you should know
that it does
not know
you.”
― Kabir

“Everything I’ve ever let go of has claw marks on it.”
― David Foster Wallace

“Someone I loved once gave me a box full of darkness. It took me years to understand that this too, was a gift.”

“You never come back, not all the way. Always there is an odd distance between you and the people you love and the people you meet, a barrier thin as the glass of a mirror, you never come all the way out of the mirror; you stand, for the rest of your life, with one foot in this world and no one in another, where everything is upside down and backward and sad.”
― Marya Hornbacher, Wasted: A Memoir of Anorexia and Bulimia
