“Sometimes you meet someone, and it’s so clear that the two of you, on some level belong together. As lovers, or as friends, or as family, or as something entirely different. You just work, whether you understand one another or you’re in love or you’re partners in crime. You meet these people throughout your life, out of nowhere, under the strangest circumstances, and they help you feel alive. I don’t know if that makes me believe in coincidence, or fate, or sheer blind luck, but it definitely makes me believe in something.”
― Oscar Auliq-Ice

“Equivocamos esa paz con la muerte
y creemos anhelar nuestro fin
y anhelamos el sueno y la indiferencia.

(We mistake peace for death
and we believe we long for our end
when what we long for is sleep and indifference.)”
― Jorge Luis Borges, Selected Poems

“What is past is what is real.”
― Jorge Luis Borges, Selected Poems

“I know that I have died before—once in November.”
― Anne Sexton
