“I think we are well advised to keep on nodding terms with the people we used to be, whether we find them attractive company or not.

― Joan Didion, Slouching Towards Bethlehem

“By believing passionately in something that still does not exist, we create it. The nonexistent is whatever we have not sufficiently desired.”
