Dave Eggers
“Hand, nobody told me about the weight. Why didn't our parents tell us about the weight?

—What weight?

—The fucking weight, Hand. How does the woman Ingres live? The one from Marrakesh? If we're vessels, and we are, then we, you and I, are overfull, and that means she's at the bottom of a deep cold lake. How can she stand the hissing of all that water?

—We are not vessels; we are missiles.

—We're static and we're empty. We are overfull and leaden.

—We are airtight and we are missiles and all-powerful.”
Dave Eggers, You Shall Know Our Velocity!

Maggie Nelson
“I feel I can give you everything without giving myself away, I whispered in your basement bed. If one does one's solitude right, this is the prize.”
Maggie Nelson, The Argonauts

Dave Eggers
“When we pass by another person without telling them we love them it’s cruel and wrong and we all know this.”
Dave Eggers, You Shall Know Our Velocity!

William Faulkner
“Tell about the South. What's it like there. What do they do there. Why do they live there. Why do they live at all.”
William Faulkner, Absalom, Absalom!

Virginia Woolf
“Alone, I often fall down into nothingness. I must push my foot stealthily lest I should fall off the edge of the world into nothingness. I have to bang my head against some hard door to call myself back to the body.”
Virginia Woolf, The Waves
