Philip Roth
“The only obsession everyone wants: 'love.' People think that in falling in love they make themselves whole? The Platonic union of souls? I think otherwise. I think you're whole before you begin. And the love fractures you. You're whole, and then you're cracked open. ”
Philip Roth, The Dying Animal

André Breton
“What’s the good of these great fragile fits of enthusiasm, these jaded jumps of joys? We know nothing anymore, but the dead stars; we gaze at their faces; and we gasp with pleasure. Our mouths are dry as the lost beaches, and our eyes turn aimlessly and without hope. Now all that remain are these cafés where we meet to drink these cool drinks, these diluted spirits, and the tables are stickier than the pavements where our shadows of the day before have fallen.”
André Breton, The Magnetic Fields

Jay-Z
“We change people through conversation, not through censorship.”
Jay-Z, Decoded

Miranda July
“What a terrible mistake to let go of something wonderful for something real.”
Miranda July, No One Belongs Here More Than You

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
“Then she wished, more rationally, that she could love him without needing him. Need gave him power without his trying; need was the choicelessness she often felt around him.”
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Half of a Yellow Sun
