“We can’t know why you are dying in the same way that we can’t know why you are living. Living and dying are both complete mysteries, and you can’t know either until you have done both.”
― Marianne Cronin, The One Hundred Years of Lenni and Margot

“I have realized that I am completely uninterested in food.”
― Gail Honeyman, Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine

“Because if we knew, if we honestly knew the price of love was grief, we’d never do it. We’d never succumb in the first place. And once we do—once we fall in love, against our better judgment, with something or someone—we never want to let go. No matter how many dinners they miss, how many texts they ignore. None of it matters. And none of it mattered.”
― Genevieve Wheeler, Adelaide

“The sky is not going to fall. That’s what I’m telling you. The pain you feel, the disaster you think is imminent. Those feelings fade. And some days you even miss it. Some days you miss the pain, because you’re afraid. Afraid that as the pain softens so do memories of the one you lost.”
― Steven Rowley, The Guncle
