Emma Donoghue
“Scared is what you're feeling. Brave is what you're doing.”
Emma Donoghue, Room

Elizabeth Gilbert
“I do forget sometimes how much it means for certain men—for certain people—to be able to provide their loved ones with material comforts and protection at all times. I forget how dangerously reduced some men can feel when that basic ability has been stripped from them. I forget how much that matters to men, what it represents.”
Elizabeth Gilbert, Committed: A Skeptic Makes Peace with Marriage

Kate Chopin
“but whatever came, she had resolved never again to belong to another than herself.”
Kate Chopin, The Awakening

Kate Chopin
“She was becoming herself and daily casting aside that fictitious self which we assume like a garment with which to appear before the world.”
Kate Chopin, The Awakening

“So from now on, screw "perfect." Forget for a while about what kind of person you want to be, and just be the best version of the person you are. Figure out which of your classmates you genuinely like (not who you want to like you), and get to know them by telling your own stories and listening to theirs. Hang out with the people you think are cool, not the people you'd like to be considered cool by. Do things because they interest you, not because they make you look interesting... and then, take stock in a month and see whether you're not happier, healthier, and working on some actual friendships with other imperfect-but-lovely humans.”
Kat Rosenfield
