“I wanted to hold on to the house the way you'd hold on to a love letter. It was proof that I had not always been completely alone in this world. But I think I was also holding on to the loss, to the emptiness of the house itself, as though to confirm it was better to be alone than to be stuck with people who were supposed to love you, yet couldn’t.” — Ottessa Moshfegh
