Book cover for The Merge
It’s a strange thing to come to terms with, being parented by your daughter. I did the same for my mother, always watching over her, unable to relax until she was right there in front of me and I knew she was safe.

Sally Rooney
“Nonetheless, it is better to feel hopeful and optimistic about one’s life on earth while engaged in the never-ending struggle to pay rent, than to feel despondent and depressed while engaged in the same non-optional struggle anyway.”
Sally Rooney, Intermezzo

Laila Lalami
“Freedom is not a blank slate, she wants to tell them. Freedom is teeming, and complicated, and yes — risky. And it can only be written in the company of others.”
Laila Lalami, The Dream Hotel

Laila Lalami
“Isolation is the opposite of salvation.”
Laila Lalami, The Dream Hotel

Laila Lalami
“Under the right circumstances, anything can be made into something sinister.”
Laila Lalami, The Dream Hotel

Denene Millner
“Take away the husband, the career, the kids. Those are the things society says we women should be happiest about. Like we should be grateful for stiff dicks when we’re not in the mood, and getting smacked in the face at two in the morning when your kid pees in the bed for the third night in a row, and your job keeps you an extra two, three hours a couple times a week to do extra work you’re not getting paid for because you’re on salary and a team player. Whew—happy happy joy joy, right? But strip that down. What really makes you happy?”
Denene Millner, One Blood
