“There always seems to be something upsetting you. You should relax more. It’s not that there’ s nothing coming to get you, there’s everything coming to get you…but relax anyway, just on principle. Just lie down and look up at the ceiling – a ceiling on which you can see nothing skittering, even though there is something skittering, there are so many skittering creatures on your ceiling, but forget that. Lie down and look up at the ceiling and breathe with those curiously fragile lungs of yours and remind yourself: Don’t worry. Don’t worry. All is as it was meant to be. It was meant to be lonely and terrifying and unfair and heaving. Don’t worry.”

“We say that Amour vincit omnia but in truth love conquers nothing—certainly not death—certainly not chance.
What love does is to arm. It arms the worth of life in spite of life.”

— Archibald MacLeish, cited by Lucia Perillo in “Knowledge Game: Gulls,” I’ve Heard the Vultures Singing: Field Notes on Poetry, Illness, and Nature

“The assumption that work is a passport to dignity and security, that work is what makes life worth living, is so deeply embedded in our culture that it is almost heretical to think otherwise. But the problem isn’t just the lack of work. It’s also the lack of hope. Young people leaving school and university can no longer kid themselves that their future is likely to include a stable place to live, love and get on with growing up, even if they do manage to find paid work.

Here’s what is notably not being said to the young and desperate: you are more than your inability to find a job. Your value to a potential employer is not the sole measure of your worth as a person. If you can find only precarious, exhausting, depressing work, or if you can’t find work at all, that doesn’t mean you are useless, lazy, or a “waste of space”.”

"why is it always the woman who has to see past the beast in the man?
why does she always have to clean his wounds, even after he has damaged her beyond repair?
why is it always the man who is worthy of forgiveness for being a monster?
I want to see the beast in the beauty.
the half smile, half snarl. the unapologetic anger.
I would like to see the man forgive the monster.
to see her, blood and all, and love her anyway."
