“Imagine that the world is made out of love. Now imagine that it isn’t. Imagine a story where everything goes wrong, where everyone has their back against the wall, where everyone is in pain and acting selfishly because if they don’t, they’ll die. Imagine a story, not of good against evil, but of need against need against need, where everyone is at cross-purposes and everyone is to blame.”
― Richard Siken

“the soul always fears until she arrives at true love.”
― Catherine of Siena, The Dialogue of Saint Catherine of Siena

“How desperate do you have to be to start doing push-ups to solve your problems?”
― Karl Ove Knausgård, A Man in Love

“all stories are like those about the creation of the universe, no one was there, no one witnessed anything, yet everyone knows what happened.”
― José Saramago, Blindness
