I tell myself:
“Insanity is the insistence on meaning.”

- Frank Bidart
A solução do problema da vida percebe-se no desaparecimento desse problema.
- Ludwig Wittgenstein
my baffled infatuations
- frank bidart
up or down from the infinite C E N T E R
B R I M M I N G at the winking rim of time

the voice in my head said

LOVE IS THE DISTANCE
BETWEEN YOU AND WHAT YOU LOVE

Sarah, Heartstopper Forever (2026)

CHARLIE
Do you need me?

NICK
Yeah. So much.

One sound is saying, 'You are not worth tuppence.
But neither is anybody. Watch it! Be severe.'
The other says, 'Go with it! Give and swerve.
You are everything you feel beside the river.'

- Seamus Heaney
Telemachus' Detachment
Louise Glück

When I was a child looking
at my parents’ lives, you know
what I thought? I thought
heartbreaking. Now I think
heartbreaking, but also
insane. Also
very funny.
Another thing: name one other person
who doesn’t have furniture.

- Louise Glück
passionate,
like Maria Callas

- Louise Glück
Por um momento, permaneceu imóvel, tentando apreender a estranha imobilidade ao seu redor. Era como a tentativa impossível de criar uma imagem sensorial da existência. Não havia nenhum atributo da realidade a ser percebido, nada além de sua ausência; não existia movimento, como se aquilo não fosse um trem, e sim um quarto num prédio.

- Aynd Rand, A revolta de Atlas
The soul is silent.
- Louise Glück
I don’t want to be a thing
I want to be becoming

- Dorothea Lasky
Nothing is anything if you say that it is
It is quiet and not a sound

- Dorothea Lasky
The Tao that can be spoken is not the constant Tao.
The name that can be named is not the constant name.
