“Volgens de wet van de grote getallen slaat het bizarre altijd wel een keer toe, als de steekproef maar groot genoeg is.”
― Karin Slaughter, Pretty Girls

“She’s clean and she’s gone a lot. Two of the most important qualities in a roommate.”
― Colleen Hoover, It Ends with Us

“As a young man, I had the feeling that since the death of my parents I’d been leading another life – the wrong life. Even more than my siblings, I wondered to what extent the events of my childhood and adolescence had defined me, and it was only very late that I understood that I myself am the sole architect of my existence. This is what I am when I allow my past to influence me, and conversely, just as much when I resist it. And all I have to do is thinks of the moments with Alva and my children in order to understand that this other life, the one in which I have now left such clear traces, cannot be wrong anymore.
Because it’s mine.”
― Benedict Wells, Vom Ende der Einsamkeit

“There was a small part of me that was still childish, stubborn in her hope, thinking I could somehow have everything. (...) But that's childhood. Before you realize that every step is a choice. That something must be given up for something to be gained. Everything on a scale, a weighing of desires, an ordering of which you want more--and what you'd be willing to give for it.”
― Megan Miranda, All the Missing Girls
