Sheila Heti
“boundaries, Sheila. Barriers. We need them. They let you love someone. Otherwise you might kill them.”
Sheila Heti, How Should a Person Be?

Anne Carson
“The words we read and words we write never say exactly what we mean. The people we love are never just as we desire them. The two symbola never perfectly match. Eros is in between.”
Anne Carson, Eros the Bittersweet

Sappho
“Once again love drives me on, that loosener of limbs, bittersweet creature against which nothing can be done.”
Sappho

Edward Albee
“I have learned that neither kindness nor cruelty by themselves; independent of each other, creates any effect beyond themselves; and I have learned that the two combined, together, at the same time, are the teaching emotion. And what is gained is loss.”
Edward Albee, The American Dream & The Zoo Story

Betty  Smith
“Dear God," she prayed, "let me be something every minute of every hour of my life. Let me be gay; let me be sad. Let me be cold; let me be warm. Let me be hungry...have too much to eat. Let me be ragged or well dressed. Let me be sincere - be deceitful. Let me be truthful; let me be a liar. Let me be honorable and let me sin. Only let me be something every blessed minute. And when I sleep, let me dream all the time so that not one little piece of living is ever lost.”
Betty Smith, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn
