Matt Haig
“You don’t have to understand life. You just have to live it.”
Matt Haig, The Midnight Library

Matt Haig
“I think it is easy to imagine there are easier paths,’ she said, realising something for the first time. ‘But maybe there are no easy paths. There are just paths. In one life, I might be married. In another, I might be working in a shop. I might have said yes to this cute guy who asked me out for a coffee. In another I might be researching glaciers in the Arctic Circle. In another, I might be an Olympic swimming champion. Who knows? Every second of every day we are entering a new universe. And we spend so much time wishing our lives were different, comparing ourselves to other people and to other versions of ourselves, when really most lives contain degrees of good and degrees of bad.”
Matt Haig, The Midnight Library

Rainbow Rowell
“Some lives we squander," he said. "And some we seize.”
Rainbow Rowell, Any Way the Wind Blows

“Nora wanted to live in a world where no cruelty existed, but the only worlds she had available to her were worlds with humans in them.”
Matt Haig, The Midnight Library

Roxane Gay
“No one shines more luridly on this faux-real stage than a woman. Whether it’s a modeling competition, a chance to compete for love, a weight-loss challenge, or a look into the lives of an aging magazine publisher’s harem, women are often the brightly polished trophies in the display case of reality television. The genre has developed a very successful formula for reducing women to an awkward series of stereotypes about low self-esteem, marital desperation, the inability to develop meaningful relationships with other women, and an obsession with an almost pornographic standard of beauty. When it comes to reality television, women, more often than not, work very hard at performing the part of woman, though their scripts are shamefully, shamefully warped.”
Roxane Gay, Bad Feminist: Essays
