“And how easily a hand becomes a fist.”

“Because I am enough. My heart is enough. The stories and the sentences twisting around my mind are enough. I am fizzing and frothing and buzzing and exploding. I'm bubbling over and burning up. My early-morning walks and my late-night baths are enough. My loud laugh at the pub is enough. My piercing whistle, my singing in the shower, my double-jointed toes are enough. I am a just-pulled pint with a good, frothy head on it. I am my own universe; a galaxy; a solar system. I am the warm-up act, the main event, and the backing singers. And if this is it, if this is all there is- just me and the trees and the sky and the seas- I know now that that's enough.”
― Dolly Alderton, Everything I Know About Love

“She wondered if dying was simply going to be an exercise in letting go of one thing after another.”
― Ann Napolitano, Hello Beautiful

“Such a cruel thing, memory. We can’t remember what it is that we’ve forgotten. That we have been made to forget. That we've had to forget, in order to pretend to live here in a normal way.”
― Margaret Atwood, The Testaments
