“I knew getting high wasn’t a long-term solution. But God, it’s so easy. It’s just so easy. But of course, it’s not easy at all, either. Because one minute you’re just trying to nurse a wound. And the next, you’re desperately trying to hide the fact that you’re now a jury-rigged, taped-up, shortcutted mess of a person and the wound you were nursing has become an abscess. But I was skinny and pretty so who cared, right?”
― Taylor Jenkins Reid, Daisy Jones & The Six

“It's so strange, how someone's silence, someone's insistence that something isn't happening can be so suffocating. But it can be. And suffocating is exactly the word, too. You feel like you can't breathe.”
― Taylor Jenkins Reid, Daisy Jones & The Six

“A lie isn't a lie until someone believes it. It doesn't matter how charming you are if there's no one to charm.”
― Leigh Bardugo, Ninth House

“I used to care when men called me difficult. I really did. Then I stopped. This way is better.”
― Taylor Jenkins Reid, Daisy Jones & The Six
