What a horrifying ordeal it is to read a book that feels like staring into a mirror

[firstfullmoon]

“[...] she gave a single, long, full-throated howl, as if she wanted to rid herself at once of all the cries that pain had stored up in her.”

— Albert Camus, The First Man, trans. David Hapgood

“I jerked huffing in air to holler, but the scream got stuck, just added itself onto the large round scream that all my life had been assembling in my chest. It felt like a huge lump of cold clay. Someday I was gonna holler so long, glass would shatter and walls explode.”

— Mary Karr, Lit: A Memoir

“She’s going to scream, I thought. And it’ll be something real. Something we have to chain up in the backyard and feed with bloody steaks.”

— Tiffany McDaniel, Betty

— Marjane Satrapi, Persepolis

"La gente disse che si suicidò su quella striscia di sabbia, ma io ti assicuro che era già morta. Un morto non può essere ammazzato."

Il caos da cui veniamo —Tiffany McDaniel

[...] as we were gladdened by the sight of our ghosts but haunted by them at the same time.

Tiffany McDaniel, from 'The Summer That Melted Everything'
