― Lemony Snicket, The Beatrice Letters

“Everything. A letter may be coded, and a word may be coded. A theatrical performance may be coded, and a sonnet may be coded, and there are times when it seems the entire world is in code. Some believe that the world can be decoded by performing research in a library. Others believe that the world can be decoded by reading a newspaper. In my case, the only thing that made sense of the world was you, and without you the world will seem as garbled and tragic as a malfunctioning typewrit9.”
― Lemony Snicket, The Beatrice Letters

“We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospect.”
― Anais Nin
