“I realised my life would be full of mundane physical suffering, and that there was nothing special about it. Suffering wouldn't make me special, and pretending not to suffer wouldn't make me special. Talking about it, or even writing about it, would not transform the suffering into something useful.”
― Sally Rooney, Conversations with Friends

“The way to turn an ex-lover into a friend is to never stop loving them, to know that when one phase of a relationship ends, it can transform into something else. It is to acknowledge that love is both a constant and a variable at the same time.”
― Gabrielle Zevin, Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow

“Gradually the waiting began to feel less like waiting and more like this was simply what life was: the distracting tasks undertaken while the thing you are waiting for continues not to happen.”
― Sally Rooney, Conversations with Friends

“A morte põe um olho no passado e outro no futuro e deixa a gente cego na hora, no encontro do que foi e do que será, na tortura do que poderia ter sido. Impõe o desespero do definitivo, trava os movimentos. Embrulha o estômago indigesta. Faz frio nos ossos. A morte é vida intensa demais para quem fica.”
― Carla Madeira, Tudo é Rio
