“I feel a pang of longing. Nostalgia, I guess, for every library I’ve ever loved, and the little girl who dreamed of this: being the first person in and the last out of a building brimming with books. And feeling like it belonged to me in a way, and I to it. A home, when nowhere else felt right. Harvey takes a deep breath. “Don’t you love the way it smells?” “So, so much,” I say. “That right there,” he says, “is why I can’t retire. If I could live in this feeling, I would.”
Emily Henry, Funny Story

“You, my girl, are whoever you decide to be. But I hope you always keep some piece of that girl who sat by the window, hoping for the best. Life’s short enough without us talking ourselves out of hope and trying to dodge every bad feeling. Sometimes you have to push through the discomfort, instead of running.”

“I spent so much time accustoming myself to one kind of surprise –the kind hinging on disappointments, hurts, small abandonments, and emotional bartering– that I'd stopped considering there might be any other.

Mrs. McCall stood with a trained smile. “Who wants coffee with dessert?” “Give me twenty minutes alone in a room with him,” Brian agreed, in a ravenous, juicy way that churned my stomach. This became something of a Rorschach test over the years. There were men who cracked their knuckles while divulging to me what they would do to The Defendant if they got the chance, thinking this was somehow reassuring for me to hear. But all it did was make me realize that there wasn’t so big a difference between the man who’d brutalized Denise and half the men I passed every day on the street.”
Jessica Knoll, Bright Young Women
