Anne Sexton, from “For My Lover, Returning To His Wife”, The Complete Poems

“I want to taste and glory in each day, and never be afraid to experience pain; and never shut myself up in a numb core of non-feeling, or stop questioning and criticising life and take the easy way out. To learn and think; to think and live; to live and learn: this always, with new insight, new understanding, and new love.”

— Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath

surviving abuse bleeds into chronic illness bleeds into depression. I don’t know when I got sick. When did I first need to sleep 17 hours a day and awoke still unable to find words, go to the bathroom, finish a sentence? when did my legs give out? when was walking to the bathroom an epic journey?

— Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha, from “the amethyst room,” Tonguebreaker

“Midsommar mostly takes place in Sweden, but at its core is a particularly American sense of rootlessness. The characters long for a sense of community and continuity, which leads to selectively romanticizing the customs of others and the connection to the past they represent…It’s only Dani who understands this, who in a warped way ends up acclimating best to the increasingly outrageous customs because she appreciates the greater attachments they represent. Pelle, who sees Dani in a way that Christian and his friend don’t, tells her that everyone deserves to have people they feel held by. It’s Dani, who has abandonment nightmares about everyone driving away laughing in the middle of the night and leaving her behind, who actually needs those connections, who desperately wants to be part of a group in a more meaningful and lasting way.”

- Midsommar (2019) dir. Ari Aster

Why do you write about the things you do?

I don’t remember what I said, only the way the light fell on your collarbone.

— Nolan Natasha, from “Sighting,” I Can Hear You, Can You Hear Me?

“When I said, ‘I will love you forever,’ I meant, ‘I will love you until I stop loving you & then, I will leave gently.’”
