nuria

“Dully, she wondered if this was what heartbreak felt like- looking into the eyes of someone she'd spent her whole life memorizing and finding nothing recognizable left over in their depths.”
― Kelly Andrew, Your Blood, My Bones

“Somos esclavos de los dioses, sean lo que sean los dioses.”
― Euripides, Orestes

“La gran prosperidad no es estable entre los mortales. La divinidad, al zarandearla, la rasga de arriba abajo como la vela de una nave rápida y la sumerge bajo penas terribles como bajo las rugientes olas mortíferas de alta mar.”
― Euripides, Orestes

“I hate now for men to dote in this way, the ones who don't know me. Their praise lands uncertainly in the air somewhere between the two of us, because it doesn't belong to me. I hate to hear them tell me what I am, even or especially when what they think I am is kind or brilliant or beautiful. I hate when they insist that I have no faults, that my laziness or violence or cruelty simply don't exist... I am being made to wear whatever particular fantasy they wish to project”
― Megan Nolan, Acts of Desperation
