“Nevertheless, we cannot escape the suspicion that individuality might be inhibited by marriage, and we wonder whether people in open relationships might not really be braver than the rest - as if freedom were ultimately a matter of courage, of irreverence and honesty, of rebelliousness.”
Daniel Bullen, Love Lives of the Artists: Five Stories of Creative Intimacy

Emma Straub
“If I'd had a friend next to me, I would have squeezed her arm and said, Can you believe this? - but kitsch wasn't kitsch if you were alone.”
Emma Straub, Other People We Married

James Joyce
“There were so many different moods and impressions that he wished to express in verse. He felt them within him. He tried to weigh his soul to see if it was a poet's soul. Melancholy was the dominant note of his temperament, he thought, but it was a melancholy tempered by recurrences of faith and resignation and simple joy.”
James Joyce, Dubliners

Ali Smith
“All we are is eyes looking for the unbroken or the edges where the broken bits might fit each other.”
Ali Smith, How to be Both

Emma Straub, Other People We Married
