“Maybe I ought to keep writing, not just for the paper, but something else, about all the people I know and the things I seen and done. Maybe I ain't too old to start over, I think and I laugh and cry at the same time at this. Cause just last night I thought I was finished with everthing new.”
― Kathryn Stockett, The Help

“I think my dad just got tired of the anger, the rage, as an answer to his inner pain. Either you give yourself over to it in a sort of emotional suicide or you simply get it. What do I think he got? That he was loved. That he was needed. That he mattered. I believe he changed as a way of asking for our forgiveness.”
― Viola Davis, Finding Me

“You're never not yourself. You're always you. It's just, sometimes, who you are . . . who you are is a shitty person.”
― Taylor Jenkins Reid, Daisy Jones & The Six

“All organizations like to boast that they're building a culture, but when it comes down to it everyone really only cares about one sort: the culture of winning...We love winners, even though they're very rarely particularly likeable people. They're almost always obsessive and selfish and inconsiderate. That doesn't matter. We forgive them. We like them while they're winning.”
― Fredrik Backman, Beartown
