Elizabeth Gilbert
“That’s the thing about a human life-there’s no control group, no way to ever know how any of us would have turned out if any variables had been changed.”
Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything

Erica Jong
“Take your life in your own hands, and what happens? A terrible thing: no one to blame.”

Carlos Ruiz Zafón
“People tend to complicate their own lives, as if living weren't already complicated enough.”
Carlos Ruiz Zafón, The Shadow of the Wind

Douglas Coupland
“And then I felt sad because I realized that once people are broken in certain ways, they can't ever be fixed, and this is something nobody ever tells you when you are young and it never fails to surprise you as you grow older as you see the people in your life break one by one. You wonder when your turn is going to be, or if it's already happened.”
Douglas Coupland, Life After God
