“When a lamb strays, it's usually lost to wolves. Vulnerable without its flock. But sometimes, just sometimes, if it's lucky, it finds a new one.”
― Madeline Cash, Lost Lambs

“It's not being fully okay yet, but it's the brilliant, blazing hope that one day you will be. It's laughing loudly and living fully and leaving trails of stardust in your wake. Like sunlight, love finds its way in through the cracks regardless. Might as well open the door.”
― Georgia Stone, The Friendship Fling

“The real truth, the real red pill, is that the patriarchy serves none of us. It’s made you think you’re entitled to women’s time and bodies. That you should just have these things, regardless of who you are inside. Go out and do the work. Earn their time. Earn their trust. Try talking to women and seeing them as people rather than a commodity you should have because you’ve been born with a penis. Do some internal work. Ask yourself why no woman wants to be with you. Could it be because you’re a piece of shit? Has that crossed your mind? Maybe try not being a piece of shit. I bet it works better than any phoney advice I’ve ever come out with. Who knows, you might even end up feeling good about yourself too.”
― Katy Brent, I Bet You’d Look Good in a Coffin

“The truth is, we live. We can't spend every moment treasuring the things we love. We still get mad at the dog for tracking mud through the house, even though one day we would give anything to have her muddy paws back on our white carpet. We still roll our eyes at our parents' needy voicemails, even though one day those recorded moments will be all we have left.”
― Paige Harbison, The Other Side of Now
