“He never knows what he wants. It changes completely from minute to minute, and he has no decisive inner voice that says 'This is the real you, this is what you desire.' Ed is blurry, to even himself. His outlines are vague. This is fine except that you need to be solid for other people. To have relationships, to be trusted, you have to say, 'This is me, this is what I want' and act as if that were true at all times.”
Oisín McKenna, Evenings and Weekends

Emily Dickinson
“... Spring is a happiness so beautiful, so unique, so unexpected, that I don't know what to do with my heart.”
Emily Dickinson, Emily Dickinson: Letters

Shelby Van Pelt
“You can't fix someone who is determined to stay broken.”
Shelby Van Pelt, Remarkably Bright Creatures

Maggie O'Farrell
“She walks back, more slowly, the way she came. How odd it feels, to move along the same streets, the route in reverse, like inking over words, her feet the quill, going back over work, rewriting, erasing. Partings are strange. It seems so simple: one minute ago, four, five, he was here, at her side; now, he is gone. She feels exposed, chill, peeled like an onion.”
Maggie O'Farrell, Hamnet

Suleika Jaouad
“Suffering can make you selfish, turn you cruel. It can make you feel like there is nothing but you and your anger, the crackle of exam table paper beneath bruised limbs, the way your heart pounds into your mouth when the doctor enters the room with the latest biopsy results. But I wasn’t the only one whose life had been interrupted by illness; my loved ones all faced a rupture that was similar in kind, if not in degree. That I wasn’t the only one in the room meant I was one of the lucky ones, I knew.”
Suleika Jaouad, Between Two Kingdoms: A Memoir of a Life Interrupted
