Tennessee Williams
“We all live in a house on fire, no fire department to call; no way out, just the upstairs window to look out of while the fire burns the house down with us trapped, locked in it.”
Tennessee Williams, The Milk Train Doesn't Stop Here Anymore

Lynda Barry
“What is it? The ordinary is EXTRAORDINARY. The ordinary is extraordinary. The ordinary is the thing we want back when someone we love dies. When someone dies or leaves or falls out of love with us. We call it "little things". We say, "it's the little things I miss most." The ordinary things. It's the little thing that brings them back to us unexpectedly. We say "reminds us" but it is more than reminding-it's a conflagration-it's an inundation-Both fire and flood is memory. It's spark and breach so ordinary we do not question it. The atom split. The little thing.”
Lynda Barry, What It Is

Samuel Beckett
“Dear incomprehension, it's thanks to you I'll be myself, in the end.”
Samuel Beckett, The Unnamable

Italo Calvino
“There is no language without deceit.”
Italo Calvino, Invisible Cities

Jenny Holzer
“With all the holes in you already there's no reason to define the outside environment as alien.”
Jenny Holzer
