“In a world driven by a sense that deliberate optimization is always the route to progress, sometimes the contingent accidents are the ones that most inspire and improve our lives.”
Brian Klaas, Fluke: Chance, Chaos, and Why Everything We Do Matters

Sarah Rose Etter
“I remember the words of a physicist: Anything that can happen will happen. What we resist the most is eventually what must befall us. What we fight eventually becomes our future.”
Sarah Rose Etter, Ripe

Sophie Mackintosh
“You can witness the unthinkable, you can have the unthinkable done to you, and at some indeterminate point in the future you can still be happy, even if just for a fixed moment, a little ball of satisfaction in the chest—isn’t that incredible? Even blood washes out, or you can fill your mouth with things that hide the taste of it.”
Sophie Mackintosh, Cursed Bread

Sarah Rose Etter
“How does anyone bear themselves? How can anyone stare into the darkest corners of humanity and return to the office, enter the meeting room, and deliver the presentation? How do we all just keep working?”
Sarah Rose Etter, Ripe

Sophie Mackintosh
“The trick is forgetting for one moment and then forgetting for another moment and then look, the moments run together like a string of beads, and there is heartbreak in the forgetting of heartbreak, in the forgetting of pain, which returns bright and pulsing regardless of the seconds it has been put aside. Do not leave me here, it tells you. Pain becomes an animal, walking at your side. Pain becomes a home you can carry with you.”
Sophie Mackintosh, Cursed Bread
