“Kidding yourself doesn’t require that you have a sense of humor. But a sense of humor comes in handy for almost everything else.”
― Carrie Fisher, The Princess Diarist

“But I say this to all the women reading this now, and to my future self: What you are angry about now - injustice - will still exist, even if you yourself are not experiencing it, or are tempted to stop thinking about how you are experience it, and how you contribute to it. Others are still experiencing it, still mad; some of them are mad at you. Don’t forget them; don’t write off their anger. Stay mad for them. Stay mad with them. They’re right to be mad, and you’re right to be mad alongside them. Being mad is correct; being mad is American; being mad can be joyful and productive and connective. Don’t ever let them talk you out of being mad again.”

“There's no such thing as the life you're supposed to have.”

“That's what Humans are, too, don't forget. People who poison each other, then disclaim all responsibility.”
