Matthew Hinea

“If you don't try, nothing ever changes.”
― Elena Ferrante, My Brilliant Friend

“The feelings that hurt most, the motions that sting most, are those that are absurd; the longing for impossible things, precisely because they are impossible; nostalgia for what never was; the desire for what could have been; regret over not being someone else; dissatisfaction with the world's existence. All these half-tones of the soul's consciousness create in us a painful landscape, an eternal sunset of what we are.”
― Fernando Pessoa

“Patriotism is the belief that not all human lives are worth the same.”
― Tao Lin, Eeeee Eee Eeee

“Anything might have been anything else and had as much meaning to it.”
― Tennessee Williams, Collected Stories
