Book cover for Does It Hurt?
Some days I’m the ocean. Some days I’m the ship. Tonight, I’m the lighthouse: at the edge, alone, and burning.   -Vasiliki

Emily McIntire
“I would give you the world. You simply have to ask [...] You want to watch the world burn?”
“Let me guess, you’ll set it on fire?” I ask.
He chuckles, the sound vibrating through me and settling into my bones.
“No, darling. I’ll hand you the match and stand at your back, watching you become queen of the ashes.”
Emily McIntire, Hooked

Miranda July
“And now in this lifetime we only felt right when we were saving a life together, fixing a flat tire by the side of the highway; we only became us against insurmountable odds. The rest of the time we respectfully forgave each other for utterly failing to be what we felt we deserved and then some of the time we were fucking furious about this and it seemed impossible to continue, but this itself was a sort of emergency and thus brought out our lifesaving skills, our diligence and seriousness. And so we were condemned to a very rigorous, if joyless, life that was profoundly meaningful until suddenly one day it wasn’t. Because I had felt joy. Stupid, pointless”
Miranda July, All Fours

Miranda July
“I started doing several different breathing exercises at once that all canceled each other out.”
Miranda July, All Fours

Maria Semple
“Seneca: We suffer more in imagination than in reality.”
Maria Semple, Go Gentle

Miranda July
“Although maybe midlife crises were just poorly marketed, maybe each one was profound and unique and it was only a few silly men in red convertibles who gave them a bad name. I imagined greeting such a man solemnly: I see you have reached a time of great questioning. God be with you, seeker.”
Miranda July, All Fours
