― Raphael Bob-Waksberg, Someone Who Will Love You in All Your Damaged Glory

“But music is never about music. If it was, we’d be writing songs about guitars. But we don’t. We write songs about women. Women will crush you, you know? I suppose everybody hurts everybody, but women always seem to get back up, you ever notice that? Women are always still standing.”
― Taylor Jenkins Reid, Daisy Jones & The Six

“No matter how terrible life became, no matter how blistering the pain, I was always sure I’d still have room for seconds.”
