“The lonely mind in the busy city yearns for connection because it thinks human-to-human connection is the point of everything.

And between her and herself.”

of my heart and its will.

― Ada Limon, Bright Dead Things

“It seemed, at times, that this was the only way the world would be remade as the heroes had dreamed: one woman lifts another woman, and she in turn lifts the world.”
