Wendy Mass
“You never know, life is short but it’s wide”
Wendy Mass, Every Soul a Star

Elif Batuman
“Your atom, I think it will never go back to peace, to cereal or rocks or anything like that. Once it has been seduced there is no way back, the way is always ahead, and it is so much harder after the passage from innocence. But it does not work to pretend to be innocent anymore. That seduced atom has energies that seduce people, and those rarely get lost.”
Elif Batuman, The Idiot

Sally Rooney
“It was a relationship, and also not a relationship. Each of our gestures felt spontaneous, and if from the outside we resembled a couple, that was an interesting coincidence for us. We developed a joke about it, which was meaningless to everyone including ourselves: what is a friend? we would say humorously. What is a conversation?”
Sally Rooney, Conversations with Friends

Jandy Nelson
“Maybe a person is just made up of a lot of people," I say. "Maybe we're accumulating these new selves all the time.”
Jandy Nelson, I'll Give You the Sun

Julie Delpy
“I believe if there's any kind of God it wouldn't be in any of us, not you or me but just this little space in between. If there's any kind of magic in this world it must be in the attempt of understanding someone sharing something. I know, it's almost impossible to succeed but who cares really? The answer must be in the attempt.”
Julie Delpy, Before Sunrise & Before Sunset: Two Screenplays
