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

Muriel Barbery
“I have finally concluded, maybe that's what life is about: there's a lot of despair, but also the odd moment of beauty, where time is no longer the same. It's as if those strains of music created a sort of interlude in time, something suspended, an elsewhere that had come to us, an always within never. Yes, that's it, an always within never.”
Muriel Barbery, The Elegance of the Hedgehog

Miranda July
“That day I carried the dream around like a full glass of water, moving gracefully so I would not lose any of it.”
Miranda July, No One Belongs Here More Than You

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
