“We grow up fast. Not by force, but because we are needed.'
'I think sometimes we're needed for the wrong reasons.”
Jessica George, Maame

“How do you know if you're genuinely happy or if you're just mostly all right, with sprinkles of laughter and occasional shit storms of sadness?”
Jessica George, Maame

“I don't think you turn thirty and become immune to mistake-making or lesson learning. You grow wiser (supposedly) but never omniscient. There's always something you need to be taught, and so you keep learning and you keep growing up- until you're dead.”
Jessica George, Maame
