“Symbolism and meaning are two separate things. I think she found the right words by bypassing procedures like meaning and logic. She captured words in a dream, like delicately catching hold of a butterfly’s wings as it flutters around. Artists are those who can evade the verbose.”

“If I began to draw
myself away from you

we’d still be like
two mixed colors of paint
impossible to separate.”
― Sanober Khan, A Thousand Flamingos

“I thought the traveler pretty much deserved what he got and that you should never play games.”
― Albert Camus

“We rip out so much of ourselves to be cured of things faster than we should that we go bankrupt by the age of thirty and have less to offer each time we start with someone new. But to feel nothing so as not to feel anything - what a waste!”
― Andre Aciman, Call Me by Your Name
