Louise Glück
“I think here I will leave you. It has come to seem there is no perfect ending. Indeed, there are infinite endings. Or perhaps, once one begins, there are only endings.”
Louise Glück, Faithful and Virtuous Night

Linn Ullmann
“Her deepest longing, perhaps, was to be loved unconditionally, and at the same time be left in peace. But she never told anyone. It is shameful and egotistical to hope for unconditional love and at the same time want to be left in peace. The mother’s inner worlds were neatly sealed—dark, gilded worlds.”
Linn Ullmann, Unquiet

Pema Chödrön
“We have this mistaken idea that either we have regret or we get rid of it. Trungpa Rinpoche talked about holding the sadness of life in our heart while never forgetting the beauty of the world and the goodness of being alive.”
Pema Chödrön, Taking the Leap: Freeing Ourselves from Old Habits and Fears

Pema Chödrön
“No lasting happiness comes from being caught in this cycle of attraction and aversion. We can never get life to work out so that we eliminate everything we fear and end up with all the goodies. Therefore the warrior-bodhisattva cultivates equanimity, the vast mind that doesn’t narrow reality into for and against, liking and disliking.”
Pema Chödrön, The Places That Scare You: A Guide to Fearlessness in Difficult Times

Sheila Heti
“The heart of the artist is a little bit hollow. The bones of the artist are a little bit hollow. The brain of the artist is a little bit hollow. But this allows them to fly.”
Sheila Heti, Pure Colour
