Annie Ernaux
“Where are the eyes of my childhood, those fearful eyes she had thirty years ago, the eyes that made me?”
Annie Ernaux, I Remain in Darkness

Naomi Wolf
“At least a third of a woman's life is marked with aging; about a third of her body is made of fat. Both symbols are being transformed into operable condition--so that women will only feel healthy if we are two thirds of the women we could be. How can an "ideal" be about women if it is defined as how much of a female sexual characteristic does not show on her body, and how much of a female life does not show on her face?”
Naomi Wolf, The Beauty Myth

Gary Shteyngart
“My hair would continue to gray, and then one day, it would fall out entirely, and then, on a day meaninglessly close to the present one, meaninglessly like the present one, I would disappear from the earth. And all these emotions, all these yearnings, all these data, if that helps to clinch the enormity of what I'm talking about, would be gone. And that's what immortality means. It means selfishness. My generations belief that each one of us matters more than you or anyone else would think.”
Gary Shteyngart, Super Sad True Love Story

“The older I grow, the more I listen to people who don't talk much.”
Germain G. Glidden

Celia Rivenbark
“My friends scoffed at my anxiety and said dumb things like, 'Fifty is the new forty!' Which just made me realize that there are a whole lot of other people who suck at math as bad as I do. No. Fifty is fifty.”
Celia Rivenbark, You Can't Drink All Day If You Don't Start in the Morning
