I'm not writing fairy tales or object lessons.
From Junot Diaz
Nobody warned me that when you fall in love, you really fall in love forever.
God bless perseverance. Because it's not easy.
I look most like myself... when I'm wearing my black, nerdy engineering glasses.
We all dream dreams of unity, of purity; we all dream that there's an authoritative voice out there that will explain things, including ourselves.
Love is understood, in a historical way, as one of the great human vocations - but its counterspell has always been infidelity. This terrible, terrible betrayal that can tear apart not only another person, not only oneself, but whole families.
Colleagues are a wonderful thing - but mentors, that's where the real work gets done.
People are always fascinated by infidelity because, in the end - whether we've had direct experience or not - there's part of you that knows there's absolutely no more piercing betrayal. People are undone by it.
The thing is, you try your best, and what else you got? You try your best, really, that's all you can do. And for me, my best happens really so rarely.
I'm a product of a fragmented world.
