“Everything is made of words, and the words had done their job. I could even say they had done it well. They had risen in a confusing swarm and spun around in spirals, ever higher, colliding and separating, golden insects, messengers of friendship and knowledge, higher, higher, into that region of the sky where the day turns into night and reality into dreams, regal words on their nuptial flight, always higher, until their marriage is finally consummated at the summit of the world.”
― César Aira, The Conversations

“I am not a person to say the words out loud / I think them strongly, or let them hunger from the page.”
― Keri Hulme

“We have nothing that is really our own; we hold everything as a loan.”
― Nicolas Poussin

“What people never understand is that depression isn't about the outside; it's about the inside. Something inside me is wrong. Sure, there are things in my life that make me feel alone, but nothing makes me feel more isolated and terrified than my own voice in my head.”
― Jasmine Warga, My Heart and Other Black Holes
