Lydia Davis
“Heart weeps.
Head tries to help heart.
Head tells heart how it is, again:
You will lose the ones you love. They will all go. But even the earth will go, someday.
Heart feels better, then.
But the words of head do not remain long in the ears of heart.
Heart is so new to this.
I want them back, says heart.
Head is all heart has.
Help, head. Help heart.”
Lydia Davis, Varieties of Disturbance

Rachel Cusk
“What Ryan had learned from this is that your failures keep returning to you, while your successes are something you always have to convince yourself of.”
Rachel Cusk, Outline

Céline Sciamma
“Do all lovers feel like they're inventing something?”
Céline Sciamma, Portrait of a Lady on Fire

Virginia Woolf
“...I'm terrified of passive acquiescence. I live in intensity.”
Virginia Woolf, A Writer's Diary

Rachel Cusk
“Sometimes it has seemed to me that life is a series of punishments for such moments of unawareness, that one forges one’s own destiny by what one doesn’t notice or feel compassion for; that what you don’t know and don’t make the effort to understand will become the very thing you are forced into knowledge of.”
Rachel Cusk, Outline
