Audrey Crompton

“How much better is silence; the coffee cup, the table. How much better to sit by myself like the solitary sea-bird that opens its wings on the stake. Let me sit here for ever with bare things, this coffee cup, this knife, this fork, things in themselves, myself being myself.”
― Virginia Woolf, The Waves

“There is a sort of mental treason
That smothers dreams outside of reason”
― Mike Corbett, Laughter of the Damned

“I want something else. I'm not even sure what to call it anymore except I know it feels roomy and it's drenched in sunlight and it's weightless and I know it's not cheap. Probably not even real”
― Mark Z. Danielewski

“Be careful when you cast out your demons that you don’t throw away the best of yourself.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche
