woah. what an insane book. i need to read more of her work now because her writing, her thoughts are so interesting. i dont feel like i've internalised even half of what she was trying to say so going to have to read this again. but what i have understood is so fascinating. ways of looking at life, god, art that i've never even considered before.

"I refuse to be sad. Let us be joyful. Whoever isn't afraid to be joyful and to experience even a single time the mad and profound joy will have the best part of our truth. I am – despite everything oh despite everything – am being joyful in this instant – now that passes if I don't capture it in words. I am being joyful in this very instant because I refuse to be defeated: so I love. As an answer. Impersonal love, it love, is joy: even the love that doesn't work out, even the love that ends."
