Daily Dose
From Annihilation, by Jeff Vandermeer
THIS
"This was really the only thing I discovered in him after his return: a deep and unending solitude, as if he had been granted a gift that he didn't know what to do with. A gift that was poison to him and eventually killed him. But would it have killed me?"
From page 82

Daily Dose
From Labyrinths: Selected Stories and Other Writings, by Jorge Luis Borges
YEARS
"Years of solitude had taught him that, in one's memory, all days tend to be the same, but that there is not a day, not even in jail or in the hospital, which does not bring surprises, which is not a translucent network of minimal surprises."
From The Waiting
