“...but going through old photos just makes me paralytically sad, and I don't really have time to get frozen to the spot, weeping over old photos, most days anyway, the fact that I think you can overdo remembering stuff, you really can...the fact that I remember Declan Kieberds talk at Notre Dame... and he said people fetishize the past...the fact that I can't understand people who want to go over and over old times, getting all nostalgic and stuff, the fact that I'm scared of old times, the fact that old times are soggy, saggy cradles of regret...”
― Lucy Ellmann, Ducks, Newburyport
