“No one ever tells you men are like knickers – after a time, they get grey and washed out and they can have a tendency to fall down when you least expect it. Or, even worse, you find a perfect pair that you love, only to discover that your shape is changing and they don't fit any more, no matter how much you try to pull them up.”
― Shari Low, What If?

“Lucas is happy. This is a very provoking thing to the world. Because people aren’t supposed to be happy, they’re only supposed to want to be happy, because how otherwise are you supposed to be able to sell things to them? More than anything people are supposed to pretend to be happy on the internet so that other people are reminded of how unhappy they themselves are by comparison. Humanity has a system.”
― Fredrik Backman, The Answer Is No

“I never understood the appeal of having sex when you're drunk. It's numbing, it's sloppy, and it feels like the alcohol is being used as an excuse to ignore the sex. In my thirties, I wondered if men do this because they're frightened at women laughing at their sexual performance or being better than them. And so they need them to be drunk.”
― Fern Brady, Strong Female Character
