Clémence

“And so I sat in the centre of this old city that I loved, which itself sat at the bottom of a tiny island. I was surrounded by people I loved, and I felt happy and miserable at the same time. I thought of what a mess everything had been, but that it wouldn't always be this way.”
― Hanif Kureishi, The Buddha of Suburbia

“What sound was that?

I turn away, into the shaking room.
What was that sound that came in on the dark?
What is this maze of light it leaves us in?
What is this stance we take,
To turn away and then turn back?
What did we hear?

It was the breath we took when we first met.

Listen. It is here.”
― Harold Pinter

“But whatever we once were we weren’t anymore.”
― Emily M. Danforth, The Miseducation of Cameron Post
