Carrie Fisher
“I wish I could explain - and armed with that explanation, somehow excuse, - the seemingly unending, ongoing, relentless, inordinately intense, pathetic fixation I have with my feelings. That wilderness lurking somewhere down south in my bi-solar plexus and, simultaneously, right there in back of my eyes, demanding my attention and eternally taking my emotional temperature. How do I feel? No, really how do I feel? How could I feel? Some other way, surely. By the end of this endless archaeological self-examination, the observer part of your mind doesn't know what it's looking at anymore. Because being both archaeologist and pit is, essentially...don't make me say it...oh fuck. Okay...The pits.”
Carrie Fisher, Shockaholic

Carrie Fisher
“Where you remain with a dying person, accompanying them as far as you can go, ultimately finding yourself standing still while they’ve kept moving. Moving until that place where they stop, arriving at that terrible stillness that goes on way longer than any life someone might have led. You continue leading your life while they follow theirs into the great beyond. Being and nothingness. You love them until they can’t feel loved anymore, then you keep on loving them as if they were still there—as if there’s been a reprieve at the last moment and fate has reversed itself. It all turned out to be a bad dream that you both had and now get to wake from.”
Carrie Fisher, Shockaholic

Stephen W. Hawking
“It is said that there is no such thing as a free lunch. But the universe is the ultimate free lunch.”
Stephen Hawking, The Theory of Everything: The Origin and Fate of the Universe

“It is a matter of common experience that disorder will tend to increase if things are left to themselves... However, one can create order out of disorder[.]”
Stephen Hawking, The Theory of Everything: The Origin and Fate of the Universe

Richard Siken
“How much can you change and get away with it, before you turn into someone else, before it's some kind of murder?”
Richard Siken, War of the Foxes
