I who have never known men, Jacqueline Harpman

[quietlytheygo]

“I never thought about the past. I lived in a perpetual present, and I was gradually forgetting my story.”

“ for a very long time, the days went by, each one, just like the day before, then I began to think, and everything changed. Before, nothing happened other than this repetition of identical, gestures, and time seemed to stand still, even if I was vaguely aware that I was growing, and that time was passing.”

To be this incredible God I am!

To have gone forth among other Gods, these men and women I love.

god said let’s make a girl who will be heart achingly lonely in her bones and always feel like a stranger in this world who doesn’t belong in any room she’s in and always has one foot out the door

why yes I would actually love to play a convoluted board game at this chill drinking party that wasn’t advertised as a game night. Hey would it be ok if you whip it out after we’re all in four drinks? Yeah, just so none of our attention spans are at 100% and none of us would be cleared to drive a car or obey traffic laws. and would you mind explaining the rules in a very surly manner and appear subtly irate whenever someone’s attention strays from the game? yeah yeah and would it be ok if we played it on an abrasive carpeted floor too? thanks

A Hunger, Lucie Brock-Broido

[quietlytheygo]

I want everything quiet and simple. For me: walking barefoot, sitting still, reading, listening to stories and now and then telling some myself. Eating fruit, drinking milk, longing to create, but with patience and many insights.

Rainer Maria Rilke, from a letter to Lou Salomé wr. c. March 1904

What drives people crazy is trying to live outside reality. Reality is terrible. It can kill you. Given time, it certainly will kill you. The reality is pain—you said that! But it’s the lies, the evasions of reality, that drive you crazy. It’s the lies that make you want to kill yourself.

Ursula K. Le Guin, The Dispossessed
