"We never realize how frozen we are until someone starts to melt our ice"
— Bridgett Devoue
“Was it possible I had something to give? Out of the nothingness that was my life? Really, what the fuck did I have to give? Woman with too many holes in her. And yet there was something. Words.”
— Lidia Yuknavitch, from The Chronology of Water: A Memoir
A breath of an artist is an art in itself, bejewelled recollection of a billion poignant tales. A heroic poetry of a broken heart that mends a million cracks around.

''I would recognise you in total darkness, were you mute and I deaf. I would recognise you in another lifetime entirely, in different bodies, different times. And I would love you in all of this, until the very last star in the sky burnt out into oblivion''.
- The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller
You glow bright and then fade away, like a dream at night meaning nothing when it's day.
