“it's strange for me to think that people can know about me without me having met them. to remember me when I'm not there. to know i exist when im not standing infront of them. it seems even more strange for someone to want me to be with them when I'm not. and the most strange for someone to need me, to depend on me, to love me.”
― Rebecca K. Reilly, Greta & Valdin

“To remember that God is not the nice man Jesus, who liked everybody and went around healing the sick; that God is, on the contrary, the one who makes people sick, who condemns people to death, for incomprehensible reasons. Jesus the healer, the listener, teacher, friend of sinners, seems in Margaret’s mind to be practically on the brink of murmuring: Sorry about my dad… Jesus is easy to love and God much harder.”
― Sally Rooney, Intermezzo
