“Mi-ar fi plăcut să o ascult, deși mi-e clar că nu ne putem auzi părinții decât atunci când trecem de 20 de ani. Îi auzim când nu mai sunt vocea din capul nostru, ci devin o voce din exterior. Când ne întoarcem la ei pentru că vrem, nu pentru că nu avem încotro.”
― Laura Ionescu, Nu te găsesc pe nicăieri

“I am trying. And I am afraid. I am afraid to write about side-stepping and feelings and overwork and depression and breakdown because I am still convinced that admitting vulnerability makes me weak, not strong. I am afraid of confirming that I am young and cute and powerless. I am afraid of admitting to all the hard stuff, all the bad stuff, all the unlikeable stuff. I am afraid of exposing myself. I am afraid of being pitied. Of being resented. Of being shouted at. I am afraid of being the disruptive woman. And of not being disruptive enough.
I am afraid. But I am doing it anyway.”
― Emilie Pine, Notes To Self

“Bearing that in mind, the question which remains to us is this: what is humanity? What do we have to do to keep humanity as one thing and not another?”
― Han Kang, Human Acts
