    open this book. Read it, re‍­read it. Dis‍­cov‍­er the words, the voice, the sleight of hand of this bril‍­liant writer.
  • Theodore Maurice August "Vanderboom" Scarlethas quoted2 years ago
    Writ‍­ing is a way to sal‍­vage life, to give it form and mean‍­ing. It ex‍­poses what we have hid‍­den, un‍­earths what we have neg‍­lected, mis‍­re‍­membered, denied. It is a meth‍­od of cap‍­tur‍­ing, of pin‍­ning down, but it is also a form of truth, of lib‍­er‍­a‍­tion.

  • Theodore Maurice August "Vanderboom" Scarlethas quoted2 years ago
    Lacci—serve to close up our shoes, which in turn contain our feet
