“They made you how they need you. They built you with all they know, and love—and so they can’t see what you’re not: all the gaps you feel leave you vulnerable. All the new possibilities only imagined by your generation, and nonexistent to theirs. They have done their best, with the technology they had to hand at the time—but now it’s up to you, small, brave future, to do your best with what you have.”
― Caitlin Moran, How to Build a Girl

“Only where there is disillusionment and depression and sorrow does happiness arise: without the despair of loss, there is no hope.”
― Haruki Murakami, Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World

“... to be forceful was not the same as being powerful and to be gentle was not the same as being fragile...”
― Deborah Levy, Swimming Home
