“You start with the unfathomable and you end with the unfathomable.”
― Ari Aster, Midsommar

“Your new life is going to cost you your old one.
It’s going to cost you your comfort zone and your sense
of direction.
It’s going to cost you relationships and friends.
It’s going to cost you being liked and understood.
It doesn’t matter.
The people who are meant for you are going to meet you
on the other side. You’re going to build a new comfort
zone around the things that actually move you forward.
Instead of being liked, you’re going to be loved. Instead of
being understood, you’re going to be seen.
All you’re going to lose is what was built for a person you
no longer are.”

“I think she wanted nothing from me," Hector added, "nothing at all but to let her love me.”

“That's the thing with good poets. They structure and decide and re-write and insert, but some of the magic comes from the place beyond intention.”
― Frank Skinner, How to Enjoy Poetry
