Jenny Slate
“What if I got a crown for doing nothing but being who I am,”
Jenny Slate, Little Weirds

Michel de Montaigne
“To enter a breach, conduct an embassy, govern a people, are actions of renown; to reprehend, laugh, sell, pay, love, hate, and gently and justly converse with a man’s own family and with himself; not to relax, not to give a man’s self the lie, is more rare and hard, and less remarkable.”
Montaigne, Essays

Deena Kastor
“What was a 4-mile tempo run or an 8k race after the suffer-fest of 26.2?”
Deena Kastor, Let Your Mind Run: A Memoir of Thinking My Way to Victory

Carmen Maria Machado
“A reminder to remember: just because the sharpness of the sadness has faded does not mean that it was not, once, terrible. It means only that time and space, creatures of infinite girth and tenderness, have stepped between the two of you, and they are keeping you safe as they were once unable to.”
Carmen Maria Machado, In the Dream House

Katherine May
“In the depths of our winters, we are all wolfish. We want in the archaic sense of the word, as if we are lacking something and need to absorb it in order to be whole again. These wants are often astonishingly inaccurate: drugs and alcohol, which poison instead of reintegrate; relationships with people who do not make us feel safe or loved; objects that we do not need, cannot afford, which hang around our necks like albatrosses of debt long after the yearning for them has passed. Underneath this chaos and clutter lies a longing for more elemental things--love, beauty, comfort, a short spell of oblivion once in a while. Everyday life is often isolated, dreary, and lonely. A little craving is understandable. A little craving might actually be the rallying cry of survival”
Katherine May, Wintering: The Power of Rest and Retreat in Difficult Times
