Adrienne Rich
“Probably there is nothing in human nature more resonant with charges than the flow of energy between two biologically alike bodies, one of which has lain in amniotic bliss inside the other, one of which has labored to give birth to the other. The materials are here for the deepest mutuality and the most painful estrangement.”
Adrienne Rich, Of Woman Born: Motherhood as Experience and Institution

Hermann Hesse
“I live in my dreams — that's what you sense. Other people live in dreams, but not in their own. That's the difference.”
Herman Hesse, Demian: Die Geschichte von Emil Sinclairs Jugend

Robin Wall Kimmerer
“Even a wounded world is feeding us. Even a wounded world holds us, giving us moments of wonder and joy. I choose joy over despair. Not because I have my head in the sand, but because joy is what the earth gives me daily and I must return the gift.”
Robin Wall Kimmerer, Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants

Ocean Vuong
“I am writing you from inside a body that used to be yours. Which is to say, I am writing as a son.”
Ocean Vuong, On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous

Sally Rooney
“Is the world such an evil place, that love should be indistinguishable from the basest and most abusive forms of violence?”
Sally Rooney, Normal People
