“Sunflowers are adaptable, for one. Seventy species. You plant them somewhere, and they'll figure out how to grow. They'll come up on the rich loam of rivers as easily as in arid, poor dirt. The worse the soil, the bigger they flower. They're scrappy as hell, but they always look like stars.”
― Marta Molnar, The Secret Life of Sunflowers

“I suppose one of the reasons we’re all able to continue to exist for our allotted span in this green and blue vale of tears is that there is always, however remote it might seem, the possibility of change”

“We've drifted apart. It's a sad reality for me in my late twenties. At the beginning of the decade, the people I was close to seemed like friends for life, people I could never imagine not seeing every day. But life happens. Love happens. Loss happens. Change and growth happen at different paces for different people, and sometimes the paces just don't line up. It's devastating if I think too much about it, so I usually don't.”
― Jennette McCurdy, I'm Glad My Mom Died

“If I had one particular complaint, it was that my life seemed composed entirely of expectation. I expected—an arrival, an explanation, an apology. There had never been one, a fact I could have accepted, were it not true that, just when I had got used to the limits and dimensions of one moment, I was expelled into the next and made to wonder again if any shapes hid in its shadows. That most moments were substantially the same did not detract at all from the possibility that the next moment might be utterly different. And so the ordinary demanded unblinking attention.”
― Marilynne Robinson, Housekeeping
