“Falling for someone is like pulling a loose thread. It happens stitch by stitch. You feel whole most of the time even while the seams pop, the knots loosen, everything that holds you together coming undone. It feels incredible, this opening of yourself to the world. Not like the unraveling it is. Only afterward do you glance down at the tangle of string around your feet that used to be a person who was whole and self-contained and realize that love is not a thing that we create. It's an undoing.”
― Leah Raeder, Black Iris

“The mother of an adult child sees her work completed and undone at the same time.' If this holds true, I may have to withstand not only rage, but also my undoing. Can one prepare for one's undoing? How has my mother withstood mine? Why do I continue to undo her, when what I want to express above all else is that I lover her very much?”
― Maggie Nelson, The Argonauts

“Don't plead with anyone if you were not at fault, you'll only look inferior, stupid and funny, bolster your ego by doing the undoing.”
― Michael Bassey Johnson

“Have only this consolation--that he was never a fiend or even truly a madman, but only an eager, studious, and curious boy whose love of mystery and of the past was his undoing. He stumbled on things no mortal ought ever to know, and reached back through the years as no one ever should reach; and something came out of those years to engulf him.”
― H.P. Lovecraft, The Case of Charles Dexter Ward

“Change. Unlearning yourself is more important than knowing yourself.”
― Brenda Lozano, Loop

“Some patient dogs had waited a long time for the fatest bone to come, but the impatient had gone to scavenge for the little it could see.”
― Michael Bassey Johnson

“Do not lose the good you've always had for the seemingly nice that just arrived; shun that thought before you self-destruct.”
― Joshua Amawhe

“With eye and hand and breath and will.”
― Ursula K. Le Guin, Gifts

“You want to feel sorry for him, but he was his own undoing.”
― Ridley Pearson, Killer Summer

“There is no way to undo something already done, or to dress up a naked truth.”
― Dixie Waters

“I often think myself to be so ingenious that I don’t even realize that my own plans may actually be my own undoing. Therefore, I might be wise to realize that God’s plans undo what I’ve done that’s undoing me.”
― Craig D. Lounsbrough

“In embroidery, there’s just as much undoing as there is doing—plucking and pulling your thread back through the holes you pierced to see where you might have gone off-course, and where you might begin again. Our ancestors once believed the stars themselves were a result of this kind of occurrence, pinpricks of light poked in the fabric of night. The Creator doesn’t make mistakes, but sometimes it’s so damn hard to see the reason.”
― Robin Brown, Glitter Saints: The Cosmic Art of Forgiveness, a Memoir

“Anna O.'s real name was Bertha Pappenheim. Bertha Pappenheim became one of the first social workers in Europe. Her work was recognized in a commemorative German stamp issued in 1954. She was also an early feminist. Her work involved the establishing of homes for prostitutes and unwed mothers. It is possible that, and psychoanalytic terms, this career was on undoing of her own childhood sexual trauma and of the failure of any person in authority to validate its reality or offer comfort.”
― Colin A. Ross, Dissociative Identity Disorder: Diagnosis, Clinical Features, and Treatment of Multiple Personality

“She had to get to the essence of the thing—to feel with her hands the undoing, and watch with her own eyes the reconnection.”
― Robin Brown, Glitter Saints: The Cosmic Art of Forgiveness, a Memoir

“i took my shadow and left
wanting it to be night in me
yet you refused my undoing
asking for light
always more light!
to love is to be changed
with you i grew into my self
when i say you’re my other me
it is an injustice
for you were always my potential”
― Kamand Kojouri
