Sally Rooney
“This could only interfere with my other ambitions, such as achieving enlightenment and being a fun girl.”
Sally Rooney, Conversations with Friends

Donna Tartt
“There's no 'rational grounds' for anything I care about.”
Donna Tartt, The Goldfinch

Sylvia Plath
“Physics made me sick the whole time I learned it. What I couldn't stand was this shrinking everything into letters and numbers...I knew chemistry would be worse, because I'd seen a big chart of the ninety-odd elements hung up in the chemistry lab, and all of the perfectly good words like gold and silver and cobalt and aluminum were shortened to ugly abbreviations with different decimal numbers after them.”
Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar

Sally Rooney
“Life offers up these moments of joy despite everything,”
Sally Rooney, Normal People

Sally Rooney
“Maybe we're just born to love and worry about the people we know, and to go on loving and worrying even when there are more important things we should be doing. And if that means the human species is going to die out, isn't it in a way a nice reason to die out, the nicest reason you can imagine? Because when we should have been reorganising the distribution of the world's resources and transitioning collectively to a sustainable economic model, we were worrying about sex and friendship instead. Because we loved each other too much and found each other too interesting. And I love that about humanity, and in fact it's the very reason I root for us to survive - because we are so stupid about each other.”
Sally Rooney, Beautiful World, Where Are You
