“I have seen myself backward.”
“I have never seen a greater monster or miracle than myself.”
“I hardly loathe myself. Have you seen my ass?”
“Right now, though, I wanted not to think forward or backward, but only to lose myself in the words.”
“This town of churches and dreams; this town I thought I would lose myself in, with its backward ways and winding roads leading to nowhere; but, I found myself instead. -Magic in the Backyard (excerpt from American Honey)”
“I am amazed to see how deliberately I have entangled myself step by step. To have seen my position so clearly, and yet to have acted so like a child!”
