Sheila Heti
“(...) Mira now wondered if this was also true of herself and Annie, that sometimes a person is meant to move forward in the world with the one they love at a distance, and that the distance is there to make it more beautiful. To find the right distance from everything in life is the most important thing. To stand at the right distance, like God standing back from the canvas - for you can't see anything if you're too far back. (...) What is the actual distance of love?”
Sheila Heti, Pure Colour

“It is only when you get older that everyone makes you feel bad about being alone, or implies that spending time with other people is somehow better, because it proves you to be likeable.

But being unlikeable wasn't the reason she was alone. She was alone so she could hear herself thinking. She was alone so she could hear herself living.”
Sheila Heti, Pure Colour

“You deserve someone who will love you in all your damaged glory.”
Raphael Bob-Waksberg, Someone Who Will Love You in All Your Damaged Glory: Stories

“A statue isn't built from the ground up -- it's chiseled out of a block of marble -- and I often wonder if we aren't likewise shaped by the qualities we lack, outlined by the empty space where the marble used to be. I'll be sitting on a train. I'll be lying awake in bed. I'll be watching a movie; I'll be laughing. And then, all of a sudden, I'll be struck with the paralyzing truth: It's not what we do that makes us who are. It's what we don't do that defines us.”
Raphael Bob-Waksberg, Someone Who Will Love You in All Your Damaged Glory

“She had thought that when someone died, it would be like they went into a different room. She had not known that life itself transformed into a different room and trapped you in it without them.”
Sheila Heti, Pure Colour
