"I don’t feel anxious in the morning. I feel timelessness. It’s really sublime——like, breakfast can go on and on and have many courses and a lot of coffee. I always want to get other people involved in this——my friend Claire or my boyfriend. I just want the morning to be like this endless drug experience." - Leopoldine Core's Morning After
"You can try to escape the story of your life, but you can’t. It happened. The baby died; the dog died; the heart broke. I knew you when you were young—I know your heart broke, too. I will know you when we are both old and maybe wise. I hope wise. I know you now, your story. Mine isn’t the one I would’ve chosen in the beginning, but I’ll take it. It is my story. It’s only mine. And it’s not over. There’s time. There is time. There’s so much time. "

"The Zeigarnik Effect: The effect is that unfinished experiences lend memorability to an experience. Once it feels finished, once it completes, it’s no longer memorable."

"There's a lot of things I don't think I'll ever get 'round to doing. Not because I'm famous, but just because I just don't think I'll ever have the time. Like being a journalist, or like being a teacher. And I'm never going to be on my own again." She takes a breath. "I'm a mom and I'm in a very serious relationship, so it's never going to be just me again. I don't regret any of it. Like, those aren't the things that I regret. But I feel like I didn't have very long to myself. I was my mom's kid, and now I'm a mom." She laughs. "I had, like, a five-year window of just being me."

"Und ich glaube, das ist typisch für Wien: Die Leute haben so eine Nach-mir-die-Sintflut-Haltung."
