Mary Pipher
“Girls become fragmented, their selves split into mysterious contradictions. They are sensitive and tenderhearted, mean and competitive, superficial and idealistic. They are confident in the morning and overwhelmed with anxiety by nightfall. They rush through their days with wild energy and then collapse into lethargy. They try on new roles every week--this week the good student, next week the delinquent and the next, the artist.”
Mary Pipher, Reviving Ophelia: Saving the Selves of Adolescent Girls

Sally Rooney
“I realised my life would be full of mundane physical suffering, and that there was nothing special about it. Suffering wouldn't make me special, and pretending not to suffer wouldn't make me special. Talking about it, or even writing about it, would not transform the suffering into something useful.”
Sally Rooney, Conversations with Friends

Ottessa Moshfegh, My Year of Rest and Relaxation

Ottessa Moshfegh
“I did crave attention, but I refused to humiliate myself by asking for it.”
Ottessa Moshfegh, My Year of Rest and Relaxation

Kate Elizabeth Russell
“She didn't understand the horror of watching your body star in something your mind didn't agree to.”
Kate Elizabeth Russell, My Dark Vanessa
