misery is a vacuum. a space without air, a suffocated dead place, the abode of the miserable. misery is a tenement block, rooms like battery cages, sit over your own droppings, lie on your own filth. misery is a no u-turns, no stopping road. travel down it pushed by those behind, tripped by those in front. travel down it at furious speed though the days are mummified in lead. it happens so fast...

Larry: [on a photography exhibit] What do you think?
Alice: It's a lie. It's a bunch of sad strangers photographed beautifully, and... all the glittering assholes who appreciate art say it's beautiful 'cause that's what they wanna see. But the people in the photos are sad, and alone... But the pictures make the world seem beautiful, so... the exhibition is reassuring which makes it a lie, and everyone loves a big fat lie.

Dan: I want Anna back.
Larry: She's made her choice.
Dan: I owe you an apology. I fell in love with her. My intention was not to make you suffer.
Larry: So where's the apology? Ya cunt.
Dan: I apologize. If you love her you'll let her go so she can be happy.
Larry: She doesn't want to be happy.
Dan: Everybody wants to be happy.
Larry: Depressives don't. They want to be unhappy to confirm they're depressed. If they were happy they couldn't be depressed anymore. They'd have to go out into the world and live. Which can be depressing.

Dan: I fell in love with her, Alice.
Alice: Oh, as if you had no choice? There's a moment, there's always a moment, "I can do this, I can give into this, or I can resist it", and I don't know when your moment was, but I bet you there was one.

Detective O'Hara: What I'm saying is that, I think.. maybe. The best things. The richest things - aren't supposed to come easily. And that sometimes, the moments that make the most sense happen when, everything else doesn't and.. well, I think you deserve more than popcorn tonight. So why don't you let me take you out to dinner.

Two hundred miles from the surface of the earth there is no gravity. The laws of motion are suspended. You could turn somersaults slowly slowly, weight into weightlessness, nowhere to fall. As you lay on your back paddling in space you might notice your feet had fled your head. You are stretching slowly slowly, getting longer, your joints are slipping away from their usual places. There is no...
“time that withers you will wither me”
Written on the body.
Written on the body is a secret code only visible in certain lights; the accumulations of a lifetime gather there. In places the palimpsest is so heavily worked that the letters feel like braille. I like to keep my body rolled up away from prying eyes. Never unfold too much, tell the whole story. I didn’t know that Louise would have reading hands. She had translated me into her own book.

its funny. i met a man once who did a lot of mountain climbing. i asked him which was harder, ascending or descending? he said without a doubt descending, because ascending you were so focused on reaching the top, you avoided mistakes.
“the backside of a mountain is a fight against human nature,” he said. “you have to care as much about yourself on the way down as you did on...
