[wedarkacademia]

“She struggled with her sadness, but tried to conceal it, to divide it into smaller and smaller parts and scatter these in places she thought no one would find them.”

— Nicole Krauss

There are times when the kindness of strangers only makes things worse because one realizes how badly one is in need of kindness and that the only source is a stranger.

In those days, we read a lot, whatever was around, which was mostly our mother's old paperbacks, whose browned paper crumbled when we turned the pages. We read to get ahead, but not in the way that is meant now when people tell children they ought to read; we read simply to get out of childhood. To read was to arrive at the future more quickly, it was to bypass years, to satisfy a desire for experiences that we were still too young to have, and along the way we learned all sorts of things, both useful and useless.

"Long Island," Nicole Krauss

I want to say somewhere: I’ve tried to be forgiving. And yet there were times in my life, whole years, when anger got the better of me. Ugliness turned me inside out. There was a certain satisfaction in bitterness. I courted it. It was standing outside, and I invited it in.
