Denis Johnson’s three rules to write by:

Write naked. That means to write what you would never say. Write in blood. As if ink is so precious you can’t waste it. Write in exile, as if you are never going to get home again, and you have to call back every detail.

Lawrence Wright, from “Remembering Denis Johnson,” The New Yorker (26 May 2017)

The person who defines your understanding of love is not inherently different than anyone else, and they’re often just the person you happen to meet the first time you really, really want to love someone. But…for the rest of your life, they will control how you feel about everyone else.

To tell the truth, love is a heavenly beast that scares the hell out of me. I watch it devour people, two by two; it fascinates them with the lure of eternity, shuts them up in a sort of cocoon, lifts them up to heaven, and then drops their carcasses back to earth like peels.

Kamel Daoud, The Meursault Investigation (Trans. John Cullen)

It has been a beautiful fight. Still is.

If you inherently long for something, become it first. If you want gardens, become the gardener. If you want love, embody love. If you want mental stimulation, change the conversation. If you want peace, exude calmness. If you want to fill your world with artists, begin to paint. If you want to be valued, respect your own time. If you want to live ecstatically, find the ecstasy within yourself. This is how to draw it in, day by day, inch by inch.

I used to say I’d know you anywhere, but it’s getting harder.

Maybe happiness is this: not feeling like you should be elsewhere, doing something else, being someone else.
