“The trick is forgetting for one moment and then forgetting for another moment and then look, the moments run together like a string of beads, and there is heartbreak in the forgetting of heartbreak, in the forgetting of pain, which returns bright and pulsing regardless of the seconds it has been put aside.

“Stories are weapons, you see. All stories. Some are swords and some are cudgels, but all of them can hurt you, if you allow it.”
