“What is a whole life? If you die when you’re still a child, is your life whole or half or zero?”
― Deepa Anappara, Djinn Patrol on the Purple Line

“Somehow I sensed what was coming for me even then. Really, though, what girl doesn’t? It looms over you, that threat of violence. They drill the danger into your head until it starts to feel inevitable. You grow up wondering when it’s finally going to happen.”

“One of the reasons I never became a clinician is because I was never convinced that life—its saving, its extension, its return—was definitively the best outcome.

― Hanya Yanagihara, To Paradise
