After Words
by
With every lost word, part of me was lost too. With some words I kept struggling. With other words I fell silent, folded. It’s always easier to fold.
“To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never to forget.”

“I was not ladylike, nor was I manly. I was something else altogether. There were so many different ways to be beautiful.”

“The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid.”
