Hanya Yanagihara
“I know that loneliness cannot be fully eradicated by the presence of another; but I also know that a companion is a shield, and without another person, loneliness steals in, a phantom seeping through the windows and down your throat, filling you with a sorrow nothing can answer. I cannot promise that my granddaughter won't be lonely, but I have prevented her from being alone. I have made certain that her life will have a witness.”
Hanya Yanagihara, To Paradise

Barbara Kingsolver
“What I wanted more than any. thing was to grow up. Hard to explain, given how I got short-sheeted on the childhood. Carefree, what is that? If I'd ever known at all, I couldn't remember. But I was still stuck outside of full adulthood, blowing smoke under its door, eyeing the windows with a cement block. It's all we want, we ragged boys of the world. To live as men.”
Barbara Kingsolver, Demon Copperhead

“I’ve tried in this telling, time and again, to pinpoint the moment where serything starts to fall apart. Everything, meaning me. But there's also the opposite, where some little nut cracks open inside you and a tree starts to grow. Even harder to nail. Because that thing's going to be growing a long time before you notice. Years maybe. Then one day you say, Huh, that little crack between my ears has turned into this whole damn tree of wonderful.”
Barbara Kingsolver, Demon Copperhead

Fatima Farheen Mirza, A Place for Us

Hanya Yanagihara
“In later years, I would think: If only we had had a few more weeks with him close to our side, away from the word; if only we could have convinced him that safety was valuable, and that we could be the ones to provide it to him. But we hadn't had a few more weeks, and we hasn't been able to convince him.”
Hanya Yanagihara, To Paradise
