Book cover for Swimming in the Dark
Some people, some events, make you lose your head. They’re like guillotines, cutting your life in two, the dead and the alive, the before and the after.

Annie Ernaux
“From the very beginning, and throughout the whole of our affair, I had the privilege of knowing what we all find out in the end: the man we love is a complete stranger.”
Annie Ernaux, Simple Passion

Jia Tolentino
“The default assumption tends to be that it is politically important to designate everyone as beautiful, that it is a meaningful project to make sure that everyone can become, and feel, increasingly beautiful. We have hardly tried to imagine what it might look like if our culture could do the opposite—de-escalate the situation, make beauty matter less.”
Jia Tolentino, Trick Mirror: Reflections on Self-Delusion

Bertrand Russell
“Make your interests gradually wider and more impersonal, until bit by bit the walls of the ego recede, and your life becomes increasingly merged in the universal life. An individual human existence should be like a river — small at first, narrowly contained within its banks, and rushing passionately past rocks and over waterfalls. Gradually the river grows wider, the banks recede, the waters flow more quietly, and in the end, without any visible break, they become merged in the sea, and painlessly lose their individual being.”
Bertrand Russell, Portraits From Memory and Other Essays

Annie Ernaux
“I experienced pleasure like a future pain.”
Annie Ernaux, Simple Passion

Jia Tolentino
“Beauty work is labeled “self-care” to make it sound progressive”
Jia Tolentino, Trick Mirror: Reflections on Self-Delusion
