“I’d say that I’ve been reclusive the last 34 years. That was my big thing as a kid, staying home from school. I’ve trained myself to be psychosomatically sick a lot. To this day, if I go to Largo— which is a very comfortable place for me— I tell my brother, “I have show stomach,” which feels like the flu. Anytime I go out, it is just something to deal with, even walking to the grocery store. If I’m supposed to go from one place to another place that isn’t that comfortable, I usually don’t go.”

— Fiona Apple (via fiona-apple-mcafee-maggart)

“رنگ پیراہن کا خشبو زلف لہرانے کا نام موسم گل ہے تمہارے بام پر آنے کا نام۔ Hues are defined by your clothes, fragrance by your flowing hair, The season of flowers is identified by your presence on the terrace.”

— Elisabeth Rynell, from To Mervas (Archipelago Books, 2008)

“- I do not trust - I do not care - Out, out into what? - A black fucking hole of half-love. - Move on. - I hate the consoled and the consoler. - I am much fucking angrier than you think. - I cannot trust you and I cannot respect you. - I am no longer honest. - You took that from me and I cannot love you. - Back to life.”
