“We were like gods at the dawning of the world, & our joy was so bright we could see nothing else but the other.”

“Best on the whole not to watch it at all : love is best felt : the acts of love are hard and disillusioning to view like this unless done by the greatest master picturemakers : otherwise the seeing of them being done and enjoyed by figurations of other people will always lock you outside them (unless your pleasure comes from taking solo pleasure or pleasure at one remove, in which case, yes, that’s your pleasure).”
― Ali Smith, How to be both

“No one remembering that old man.
Except, I just did, there”
― Ali Smith, How to be Both

“I don't like remembering.
Remembering makes me feel things.
I don't like to feel things.

I'm thinking I could spend the rest of my life becoming an expert at forgetting”
― Benjamin Alire Saenz, Last Night I Sang to the Monster
