Ottessa Moshfegh Quotes
My Parents Kept A Small Cabin The Mountains. It Was A Simple Thing, Just Four Walls, And Very Dark Inside. A Heavy Felt Curtain Blotted Out Whatever Light Made It Through The Canopy Of Huge Pines And Down Into The Cabin's Only Window. There Was A Queen-size Bed In There, An Armchair, And A Wood-burning Stove. It Wasn't An Old Cabin. I Think My Parents Built It In The Seventies From A Kit. In A Few Spots The Wood Beams Were Branded With The Word HOME-RITE. But The Spirit Of The Place Me Think Of Simpler Times, Olden Days, Yore, Or Whenever It Was That People Rarely Spoke Except To Say There Was A Store Coming Or The Berries Were Poisonous Or Whatnot, The Bare Essentials. It Was Deadly Quiet Up There. You Could Hear Your Own Heart Beating If You Listened. I Loved It, Or At Least I Thought I Ought To Love It - I've Never Been Very Clear On That Distinction.
