“No, Miss Wright didn't want to meet her kid. To her, that relationship was just as important, just as ideal and impossible as it would be to the child.

“Your dad was in a street gang?" My adopted dad was an accountant for a big Fortune 500 corporation. Him, me, and my adopted mom lived in the suburbs in an English Tudor house with a gigantic basement where he fiddled with model trains. The other dads were lawyers and research chemists, but they all ran model trains. Every weekend they could, they'd load into a family van and cruise into the city for research. Snapping pictures of gang members. Gang graffiti. Sex workers walking their tracks. Litter and pollution and homeless heroin addicts. All this, they'd study and bicker about, trying to outdo each other with the most realistic, the grittiest scenes of urban decay they could create in HO train scale in a subdivision basement”

“Nell'istituto religioso che ha frequentato da ragazza, dice la signora Wright, tutte le allieve dovevano coprirsi le orecchie con una sciarpa. Questo perché nella Bibbia si dice che la Vergine Maria rimase incinta quando lo Spirito Santo le sussurrò all'orecchio. Orecchie come vagine. La convinzione che sia sufficiente sentire un'idea sbagliata per perdere l'innocenza. n dettaglio di troppo e sei rovinata. Overdose di informazioni. E' la verità. Un'idea sbagliata può mettere radici in te e crescere.”

“It was during the summer of 1845, in the garden, under the arbour, Pécuchet, with his feet up on a small seat, was reading aloud in his booming voice, tirelessly, only stopping to dip his fingers into his snuff-box.

― Gustave Flaubert, Bouvard and Pécuchet with The Dictionary of Received Ideas

“When the hysteria subsides, this video is destined to be another relic that we will never truly understand. A new tragedy presents itself before we can make sense of the last. Why does this keep happening, and who keeps doing this to us? I wish I could strangle their collective necks and be done with it, so we could hail our utopia in peace. Maybe some advanced being will sift through this junk when we’re gone, and wonder how siblings could be so cruel to each other.”
― Nick Drnaso, Sabrina
