"Taking a break from this while in Europe! Loved the first story, especially the scene in the taxi and (I guess) powerfully the imagery is in the characters' dialogue. Am finding Seymour a total challenge because the narrator is annoying af and can't write a sentence without a bajillion tangents (which is admits upfront in the first few pages)." — Jul 19, 2019 01:03PM

“We go to the past to lay the blame - since the past can't argue. We go to our past selves to account for our present miseries.”
― Love Remains

“The lunatic, the lover, and the poet
Are of imagination all compact:
One sees more devils than vast hell can hold,
That is, the madman: the lover, all as frantic,
Sees Helen's beauty in a brow of Egypt:
The poet's eye, in a fine frenzy rolling,
Doth glance from heaven to earth, from earth to heaven,
And as imagination bodies forth
The forms of things unknown, the poet's pen
Turns them to shapes and gives to airy nothing
A local habitation and a name.”
― A Midsummer Night’s Dream
