Love is what you call a phantom pain. The poets write of it, our great art represents it, it inspires our musicians, but it does not really exist. […] Like an ulcer you think you have but the surgeon opens you up and finds nothing there. It is a chemical reaction, Keesy. Hormones. People die for it, but no one has ever proven it exists.
— Margaux Fragoso; “Tiger, Tiger”

Love for others without the foundation of love for ourselves becomes a loss of boundaries, codependenct, and a painful and fruitless search for intimacy.

Paths are not meant to be followed forever. They are meant to take you from one place to the next. When you use a canoe to cross a river, you don’t need to carry the canoe on your back after you’ve reached land. When a vehicle has served it’s purpose, it’s time to put it down.

I think the concept of a voice of generation is becoming less and less applicable. The world’s getting more and more full. Our generation is not just white girls. It’s guys. Women of color. Gay people. The idea that I could speak for everyone is so absurd. But what is nice is if I could speak for me and it’s resonant for people, then that’s about as much as I could hope for.

When you diet, you tell yourself that you can’t be trusted, that your hunger (for love, pleasure, friendship) will destroy people. You begin to believe you are hopeless, a bottomless pit. This is not a kind thing to say to yourself. It is also not true. No one’s hunger is bottomless.

You’ll forgive your friends a lot, and if you’re a woman, you’ll forgive your straight male friends even more. They represent the possibility of mutual toleration between the sexes, a keyhole into the mind of the Other, and the promise of one day meeting someone just like them except that you want to sleep with them.

And if a woman should say she doesn’t want to have children at all, the world is apt to go decidedly peculiar: ‘Ooooh, don’t speak too soon,’ it will say - as if knowing whether or not you’re the kind of person who desires to make a whole other human being in your guts, out of sex and food, then have the rest of your life revolve around its welfare, is a breezy, ‘Hey - whevs’ decision. Like electing to have a picnic on an unexpectedly sunny day or changing the background picture on your desktop. ‘When you meet the right man, you’ll change your mind, dear,’ the world will say, with an odd, aggressive smugness.
