“Even that shared experience–it's true significance anyway, what it really means–that belongs to you alone.”
Raphael Bob-Waksberg, Someone Who Will Love You in All Your Damaged Glory

Carson McCullers
“My advice to you is this. Do not attempt to stand alone. ...The most fatal thing a man can do is try to stand alone.”
Carson McCullers, The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter

“You can write it all down, you can put it in your book of facts, but the truth is no one can ever really understand the tangle of experiences and passions that makes you who you are. It's a secret collection, a private language, a pebble in your pocket that you play with when you're anxious.”
Raphael Bob-Waksberg, Someone Who Will Love You in All Your Damaged Glory

“And I imagined that if I were in some other, better universe, there'd be someone who could tell me, it's okay, or you'll get 'em next time, tiger. Someone would tell me that all the stupid things I'd done, all my mistakes, they didn't matter. This someone would say that, no matter what, she was proud of me, that I filled her heart with warmth, and that that's really the most you could hope for in life - to just for an instant make somebody else just a little bit happier. She would tell me that - guess what, - everything was going to be all right.”
Raphael Bob-Waksberg, Someone Who Will Love You in All Your Damaged Glory

Emily R. Austin
“My mother had a baby, and her mother had a baby, and her mother had a baby. Every woman in my family before me lived to have a baby—just so that baby could grow up to have another baby. If I don’t have a baby, then all of those women reproduced just so that I could exist. I am the final product. I am the final baby.”
Emily R. Austin, Everyone in This Room Will Someday Be Dead
