“Women should be allowed to take their lives in whichever direction works for them, without ranking those lifestyles in order of importance.”
― Dolly Alderton, Dear Dolly: Collected Wisdom

“Don’t be afraid to love someone. When you fall in love, I want you to fall in love all the way. Even if it ends in heartache, please don’t live a lonely life without love. I’ve been so worried that because of what happened you’ll give up on falling in love. Love is wonderful. I don’t want you to forget that. Those memories of people you love, they never disappear. They go on warming your heart as long as you live.”

“Not only do you have to meet someone who you really like and who really likes you too, but also you must have both arrived at a specific moment of availability. This readiness is decided by our own minds, but we let ourselves believe it is dictated by our personal past, future and the laws of timing.”
― Dolly Alderton, Dear Dolly: Collected Wisdom

“The act of seeing is no small thing. To see something is to be possessed by it. Sometimes it carries off a part of you, sometimes it’s your whole soul.”
