Sarah Kane
“She's talking about herself in the third person because the idea of being who she is, of acknowledging that she is herself, is more than her pride can take.”
Sarah Kane

Antonin Artaud
“Theater of Cruelty means a theater difficult and cruel for myself first of all. And, on the level of performance, it is not the cruelty we can exercise upon each other by hacking at each other’s bodies, carving up our personal anatomies, or, like Assyrian emperors, sending parcels of human ears, noses, or neatly detached nostrils through the mail, but the much more terrible and necessary cruelty which things can exercise against us. We are not free. And the sky can still fall on our heads. And the theater has been created to teach us that first of all.”
Antonin Artaud, The Theater and Its Double

Meg Wolitzer
“Oh tragedy, oh tragedy, the boy said to himself, but he was smiling a little. Oh joy, oh joy. Hearts and stars exploded in the darkness above their heads.”
Meg Wolitzer, The Interestings

Alain de Botton
“To be loved by someone is to realize how much they share the same needs that lie at the heart of our own attraction to them. Albert Camus suggested that we fall in love with people because, from the outside, they look so whole, physically whole and emotionally 'together' - when subjectively we feel dispersed and confused. We would not love if there were no lack within us, but we are offended by the discovery of a similar lack in the other. Expecting to find the answer, we find only the duplicate of our own problem.”
Alain de Botton, On Love

Constantinos P. Cavafy
“When you set sail for Ithaca,
wish for the road to be long,
full of adventures, full of knowledge.”
C.P. Cavafy
