“Loneliness is a sign you are in desperate need of yourself.”
― Rupi Kaur, Milk and honey

“I have always loved the feel of books, the way they give a literal weight to words and make of them a sacred object.”

“I'm learning so many different ways to be quiet. There's how I stand in the lawn, that's one way. There's also how I stand in the field across from the street, that's another way because I'm farther from people and therefore more likely to be alone. There's how I don't answer the phone, and how I sometimes like to lie down on the floor in the kitchen and pretend I'm not home when people knock. There's daytime silent where I stare, and a nighttime silent when I do things. There's shower silent and bath silent and California silent and Kentucky silent and car silent and then there's the silence that comes back, a million times bigger than me, sneaks into my bones and wails and wails and wails until I can't be quiet anymore. That's how this machine works.”
― Ada Limon, Bright Dead Things

“Anything was possible. When you hear hooves you look for horses, but you can’t discount zebras.”
