Book cover for Still Missing
I think people can be so crushed, so broken, that they’ll never be anything more than a fragment of a whole person.

Joan Didion
“Everything goes. I am working very hard at not thinking about how everything goes.”
Joan Didion, Play It As It Lays

Ottessa Moshfegh
“Rejection, I have found, can be the only antidote to delusion”
Ottessa Moshfegh, My Year of Rest and Relaxation

Lily King
“I squat there and think about how you get trained early on as a woman to perceive how others are perceiving you, at the great expense of what you yourself are feeling about them. Sometimes you mix the two up in a terrible tangle that’s hard to unravel.”
Lily King, Writers & Lovers

Emily St. John Mandel
“If there’s pleasure in action, there’s peace in stillness.”
Emily St. John Mandel, Sea of Tranquility

Fredrik Backman
“They say that a person’s personality is the sum of their experiences. But that isn’t true, at least not entirely, because if our past was all that defined us, we’d never be able to put up with ourselves. We need to be allowed to convince ourselves that we’re more than the mistakes we made yesterday. That we are all of our next choices, too, all of our tomorrows.”
Fredrik Backman, Anxious People
