“I thought to myself that only now had she begun to sell her
children. When she started telling about them. Without a story, it was

― Georgi Gospodinov, The Physics of Sorrow

“I write in the first person to make sure that I’m still alive.
I write in the third person to make sure that I’m not just a projection of my own self, that I’m three-dimensional and have a body.
Sometimes I nudge a glass and note with satisfaction that it falls and breaks. So I do still exist and cause consequences.
If no one is watching me, then I’ll have to watch myself, so as not to turn into quantum soup.”
― Georgi Gospodinov, The Physics of Sorrow
