“It came to her that in the scenario of her life this would be what was called an obligatory scene, and she wondered ... just how long the scene would play.”
― Joan Didion, Play It As It Lays

“Painting saved me, but I can't say I loved painting. I painted because I needed to. What I really loved, what I love, is having-painted. That was the high. Making something that would never have existed in the entirety of humanity had I not been there at that specific moment to make it.”
― Kaveh Akbar, Martyr!
