“Need isn't love. Loneliness isn't love. And pain isn't love. Even if it's shared.”
― Ginny Myers Sain, Dark and Shallow Lies

“Seventy percent of the planet is water. Most of that water is deep ocean. The origin of everything. Less than 5 percent of the deep ocean is mapped. Humans know more about Mars. Anything could be down there. Therefore, everything is.”
― Daniel Kraus, Whalefall

“Look at the stomach. Really look at it. See the wagon trails traced through vessels and fat. See Jupiter’s storms. Valleys of fire. Collapsing constellations. A million teardrops. Paths through forests. Dinosaurs, future dinosaurs. A yellow crescent moon. Men, women, snakes. Kissing lips. The silver ritual of rings. Bunches of pink balloons. The curve of a lover’s back. Baby chub. Elderly wrinkles. Cracked continents. The wrong road. A flood. Things drowned and ascended. Snowfall. A tree to climb. Spiderwebs. Solar flares.
Shh. See it?”
― Daniel Kraus, Whalefall

“There's no logic to loneliness, just nostalgia for something that never was.”
― Pedro Hoffmeister, American Afterlife
