Addison Clarke
“That’s just a champagne problem.”
“A what?”
“That’s what my professor calls problems that seem like a big deal, but aren’t in the grand scheme of things. They explode dramatically, like champagne, then fizzle out.”
Addison Clarke

Tanya Byrne
“When I say I love you, Ash, I don't mean that I love you in the way that I love Basquiat or oat milk lattes, I mean that I love you. All that you are and all that you will be and I can't wait to find out who that person is.”
Tanya Byrne, Afterlove

“Maybe the truth is that saying goodbye seems to me a rejection of human warmth - even the minimal warmth that makes us feel solitude less. I mean real solitude, which rises up by surprise and lasts a few seconds, the solitude that derives not from lack of company or affection, but from our innate separateness from one another.”
Elena Ferrante; translated by Ann Goldstein, Incidental Inventions

Alix E. Harrow
“In the pain of my loss, I gave you the pain of absence.”
Alix E. Harrow, The Ten Thousand Doors of January

Tilly Lawless
“As women we're raised to take tepid two-steps, to doubt, to let the other make the move. And when you are caught with another girl in that dance... How many times have I stepped the same steps, trodden the same tired grooves of my mind, an ouroboros of extreme elation and suffocating uncertainty? How does one get out of this labyrinth? Burn all your romantic novels, cough on the fumes till you spit out the sediment? Bury your pink lingerie in a bed of rock, quell those femme yearnings, become stone?”
Tilly Lawless, Nothing but My Body
