“I wonder we're all just the product of our parents' fears and failings, and their parents before them. I wonder how far back the cycle goes, whether I'm predisposed to being mentally ill, whether I have any choice in how my life unfolds, or the person that I'm destined to be. You could go mad trying to figure it out.”
Hazel Hayes, Out of Love

Victoria Schwab
“What she needs are stories. Stories are a way to preserve one's self. To be remembered. And to forget. Stories come in so many forms: in charcoal, and in song, in paintings, poems, films. And books. Books, she has found are a way to live a thousand lives - or to find strength in a very long one.”
V. E. Schwab

Matt Haig
“It is not the lives we regret not living that are the real problem. It is the regret itself. It's the regret that makes us shrivel and wither and feel like our own and other people's worst enemy.”
Matt Haig, The Midnight Library

Ocean Vuong
“In Vietnamese, the word for missing someone and remembering them is the same: nhớ. Sometimes, when you ask me over the phone, "Có nhớ mẹ không?" I flinch, thinking you meant, "Do you remember me?"

I miss you more than I remember you.”
Ocean Vuong, On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous

Taylor Jenkins Reid
“People think that intimacy is about sex. But intimacy is about truth. When you realize you can tell someone your truth, when you can show yourself to them, when you stand in front of them bare and their response is, "You're safe with me" - that's intimacy.

Please never forget that the sun rises and sets with your smile. At least to me it does. You're the only thing on this plant worth worshipping.”
Taylor Jenkins Reid
