“To feel anything
deranges you. To be seen
feeling anything strips you
naked. In the grip of it
pleasure or pain doesn’t
matter. You think what
will they do what new
power will they acquire if
they see me naked like
this. If they see you
feeling. You have no idea
what. It’s not about them.
To be seen is the penalty.”
― Anne Carson, Red Doc>

“Ever see yourself doing something in the past and no matter how many times you remember it you still want to scream stop, somehow redirect the action, reorder the present?”
― Mark Z. Danielewski, House of Leaves

“I miss you. I love you. There’s no second I’ve lived you can’t call your own.”
― Mark Z. Danielewski, House of Leaves

“We are our memory,
we are that chimerical museum of shifting shapes,
that pile of broken mirrors.”
― Jorge Luis Borges, In Praise of Darkness
