“I know history. There are many names in history

but none of them are ours.”
― Richard Siken, Crush

“Do you think you're a train wreck?"
"That would mean I was on the tracks to start with.”
― Maggie Stiefvater, The Dream Thieves

“I did not come into this world
to be comforted.
I came, like red bird, to sing.
But I’m not red bird, with his head-mop of flame
and the red triangle of his mouth
full of tongue and whistles,
but a woman whose love has vanished,
who thinks now, too much, of roots
and the dark places
where everything is simply holding on.”
― Mary Oliver, Red Bird

“We are all just trying to be holy.”
― Richard Siken, Crush
