Quotes from Eileen Myles (author)

The beauty of the story is that it happened. It was the last thing that happened in New York. Everything else happened while I was stopping it from happening.

You can't force a story that doesn't want to be told. It was that kind of year.

Everything I did was something to fix me. With all my heart I was trying to be dead.

I have waited all my life for permission. I feel it growing in my breast. A war is storming and it is behind me and I am moving my forces into light.
