“Did the men steal the papers?" Reynie asked, fearing her response.
No, because they are fools," Sophie said bitterly. "They demanded to see the papers, and when I did not answer fast enough -- they were very frightening, you see -- they hurt me so that I was not awake. . . . When I opened my eyes they were still trying to find the papers. They did not understand how we organize the library, you see. They were angry and creating a bad mess. . . . The police were coming and the men decided they must leave. I shouted at them as they left: 'It is a free and public library! All you had to do was ask!”

“Today I hit rock bottom but didn’t busy myself with activity to take my mind off it, like I usually do. I allowed myself to sink as deep as possible. It’s like an infection: let it run its course and be done with it. Rising, I felt cleansed.”

“I have an obligation to help eliminate the stigma attached to mental illness. When I’m feeling despondent and someone asks in a sincere way how I am, I have a duty to tell the truth. It’s no different from saying I have a bad cold. By speaking candidly, I give others permission to acknowledge their own mental illness, talk about it, and seek help. I must break the silence instead of treating my depression like a shameful character flaw.”

“The symptoms of a writer who hasn’t found their way clear of the needs of Self yet are easy to spot. I should say the symptoms are easy for everyone else to spot, that is, and not so easy for the writer themself to see. You’ll see a writer who does not trust the characters to speak and move on their own, but has to puppeteer them; a writer who does not trust the reader to understand what’s written. One who must insert parentheticals in various forms to explain the work to the reader; flashbacks to explain; big black blocks of text on the page to explain; question-and-answer dialog between characters who aren’t in a courtroom; walk-and-talk characters with their mouths full of dialog of what the story is about; too many stage directions that make the script read like a novel…”

“?Tengo que decirte que cuando estamos separados vuelvo a sentir tu cuerpo en sue?os? ?Que cuando estoy dormido te veo a ti, a la curva de tu cintura, la peca que tienes en la cadera, y que cuando me despierto al día siguiente tengo la sensación de haber estado contigo, que aún siento la caricia de tu mano en mi nuca, reciente y no imaginada? ?Que siento tu piel en contacto con la mía, y siento todo el cuerpo dolorido? ?Que durante unos instantes puedo contener la respiración y estar de nuevo contigo, en un sue?o, en un millar de habitaciones, o en ningún lugar?
Quizás Hamilton lo expresó mejor en una de sus cartas para Eliza:
"Tu acaparas mis pensamientos tan enteramente que no puedo pensar en nada más; no solo tienes mi mente ocupada todo el día, además te inmiscuyes en ella cuando estoy dormido. Me encuentro contigo en cada uno de mis sue?os, y cuando despierto no puedo volver a cerrar los ojos, porque rememoro tu dulzura una y otra vez".”

“I read a quote from Absalom, Absalom! It's a reference to some of the plants that have already lost their blooms: "...and you said North Mississippi is a little harder country than Louisiana, with dogwood and violets and the early scentless flowers, but the earth and the nights still a little cold and the hard, tight sticky buds... on Judas trees and beech and maple...you find that you have been wanting that pretty hard for some time..."
In his story Faulkner may have been suggesting a lustful want for the maiden Judith Sutpen, but I take it another direction. As hard as Mississippi can be, I realize now I have indeed been wanting that pretty hard for some time.
If only I had known to avoid the wisteria. Instead, I said no when I should have said yes; said yes when I should have said no---and that mistake has nearly choked the life from me.”

“Social media has been the largest platform on the internet to disperse optical illusions that we have seen thus far. GOD forbid there become more... with editing capabilities, photoshop, filters, CGI, AI, green screens, backdrops which are all available when curating, crafting to create and alter whatever reality you want. Yet Social media is the place where people choose to come and go, for information about you. Make that make sense.”
