“As you run off the platform and into the street, weaving towards your taxi, you experience a strange moment in which you are flung into the future, wondering how you will remember this. You would like a witness. You would like someone to stop you and ask, What are you doing?, to which you would reply, I'm doing what I feel.”

“You are made aware that you carry the house of your father, which means you also carry a part of the house he carried, your father's father’s [...] Your first instinct is to ball your hand into a fist, crushing the thing, letting the weight drift to the ground; but perhaps it would be necessary to prise open its doors, to search the rooms which are lit, glance into those which are not.”

“How does one shake off desire? To give it a voice is to sow a seed, knowing that somehow, someway, it will grow. It is to admit and submit to something which is on the outer limits of your understanding.
But even if this seed grows, even if the body lives, breathes, flourishes, there is no guarantee of reciprocation. Or that you'll ever see them again. Hence, the campaign for summer crushes.”
