Sally Rooney
“It doesn't always work, but I do my best. See what happens. Go on in any case living.”
Sally Rooney, Intermezzo

“Adulthood is when we discover who we are. It's when we figure out some really important stuff-like what our strengths and weaknesses are, what our unique individual gifts are. Also, what shortcomings we must mitigate. It's when go through that very important process of introspection, soul-searching, self-discovery. If we do not go though this process, we inevitably become unhappy people who wake up in the morning, empty, afraid, and unfulfilled.”
Julian Aguon, The Properties of Perpetual Light

Franz Kafka
“It is a long dark road from there to where I have really come”
Franz Kafka, Letter to His Father

Jacqueline Harpman
“Being beautiful, was that for men?'
'Yes. Some women say that it is for ourselves. What on earth can we do with it? I could have loved myself whether I was hunchbacked or lame, but to be loved by others, you had to be beautiful.”
Jacqueline Harpman, I Who Have Never Known Men

Sally Rooney
“Well, if that's suffering, he thinks, let me suffer. Yes. To love whoever I have left. And if ever I lose someone, let me descend into a futile and prolonged rage, yes, despair, wanting to break things, furniture, appliances, wanting to get into fights, to scream, to walk in front of a bus, yes. Let me suffer, please. To love just these few people, to know myself capable of that, I would suffer every day of my life.”
Sally Rooney, Intermezzo
