“But my heart isn't simple or straightforward. It's a complicated mess of wants and needs, boys and girls: soft, rough, and everything in between, an ever-shifting precipice from which to fall.”
― Tess Sharpe, Far From You

“I climb the side of a volcano carved from ice, heat drawn from the well of devotion that is the female heart.”
― Patti Smith, Devotion

“Why do we write? A chorus erupts.
Because we cannot simply live.”
― Patti Smith, Devotion

“I realised my life would be full of mundane physical suffering, and that there was nothing special about it.

― Sally Rooney, Conversations with Friends
