Lili Anolik
“My preoccupation was unbalanced, fetishistic. Sick is what it was. And it made me sick - anxious and grasping and, in some obscure yet vital sense, self-abandoned. I needed to stop living her life, reclaim my own. I needed to get violent.”
Lili Anolik, Didion and Babitz

Sally Rooney
“I felt that I was a damaged person who deserved nothing.”
Sally Rooney, Conversations with Friends

Eve Babitz
“And because we were in Southern California-in Hollywood even-there was no history for us. There were no books or traditions telling us how we could turn out or what anything meant.”
Eve Babitz

Priscilla Beaulieu Presley
“Maybe I am a slow learner, but ultimately, it is a choice. I choose not to be a cynic. Living my life suspecting everyone's motives, thinking the worst of people, is no life at all. Letting people get close to you is always a risk. Though I have learned to be careful, I am unwilling to shut myself off completely.”
Priscilla Beaulieu Presley, Softly, As I Leave You: Life After Elvis

Sally Rooney
“I wanted to explain that I didn't know how much I was allowed to feel about it, or how much of what I felt at the time I was still allowed to feel in retrospect.”
Sally Rooney, Conversations with Friends
