Book cover for Foster
I keep my foot in the water, and then, when I think I can’t stand it any longer, my thinking changes, and I can.

Coco Mellors
“A sister is not a friend. Who can explain the urge to take a relationship as primal and complex as a sibling and reduce it to something as replaceable, as banal as a friend? Yet this status is used again and again to connote the highest intimacy. True sisterhood is not the same as friendship. You don't choose each other and there is no furtive period of getting to know each other. You are a part of each other, right from the start. Look at an umbilical cord—tough, sinuous, unlovely, yet essential—and compare it to a friendship bracelet of brightly woven thread. That is the difference between a sister and a friend.”
Coco Mellors, Blue Sisters

Gabrielle Zevin
“We are all living, at most, half of a life, she thought. There was the life you lived, which consisted of the choices you made. And then, there was the other life, the one that was the things you hadn't chosen.”
Gabrielle Zevin, Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow

Dolly Alderton
“Many times, I would invent a person in my head and create our chemistry as if writing a screenplay, and by the time we’d meet again in real life, I’d be crushingly let down.”
Dolly Alderton, Everything I Know About Love

Madeline Miller
“But in a solitary life, there are rare moments when another soul dips near yours, as stars once a year brush the earth. Such a constellation was he to me.”
Madeline Miller, Circe

Dolly Alderton
“Your life is here, now. You’re not about to live a tracing-paper copy of it.”
Dolly Alderton, Everything I Know About Love
