Tara Westover
“The thing about having a mental breakdown is that no matter how obvious it is that you're having one, it is somehow not obvious to you. I'm fine, you think. So what if I watched TV for twenty-four straight hours yesterday. I'm not falling apart. I'm just lazy. Why it's better to think yourself lazy than think yourself in distress, I'm not sure. But it was better. More than better: it was vital.”
Tara Westover, Educated

Khaled Hosseini
“Each snowflake was a sigh heard by an aggrieved woman somewhere in the world. All the sighs drifted up the sky, gathered into clouds, then broke into tiny pieces that fell silently on the people below. As a reminder of how women suffer.”
Khaled Hosseini, A Thousand Splendid Suns

Matthew Walker
“People consuming even moderate amounts of alcohol in the afternoon and/or evening are thus depriving themselves of dream sleep.”
Matthew Walker, Why We Sleep: Unlocking the Power of Sleep and Dreams

Matthew Walker
“More than a third of our brain is devoted to processing visual information, far exceeding that given over to sounds or smells, or those supporting language and movement.”
Matthew Walker, Why We Sleep: Unlocking the Power of Sleep and Dreams

Matthew Walker
“Concentrations of a key stress-related chemical called noradrenaline are completely shut off within your brain when you enter this dreaming sleep state. In fact, REM sleep is the only time during the twenty-four-hour period when your brain is completely devoid of this anxiety-triggering molecule.”
Matthew Walker, Why We Sleep: The New Science of Sleep and Dreams
