Irvin D. Yalom
“I should have become an "I" before I became a "we".”
Irvin Yalom, When Nietzsche Wept

Han Kang
“Life is such a strange thing, she thinks, once she has stopped laughing. Even after certain things have happened to them, no matter how awful the experience, people still go on eating and drinking, going to the toilet and washing themselves - living, in other words. And sometimes they even laugh out loud. And they probably have these same thoughts, too, and when they do it must make them cheerlessly recall all the sadness they'd briefly managed to forget.”
Han Kang, The Vegetarian

Jeffrey Eugenides
“Depression is like a bruise that never goes away. A bruise in your mind. You just got to be careful not to touch it where it hurts. It's always there, though.”
Jeffrey Eugenides, The Marriage Plot

Clarice Lispector
“... E foi assim que no grande parque do colégio lentamente comecei a aprender a ser amada, suportando o sacrifício de não merecer, apenas para suavizar a dor de quem não ama.”
Clarice Lispector, Felicidade Clandestina

Sally Rooney
“I tell myself that I want to live a happy life, and that the circumstances for happiness just haven't arisen. But what if that's not true? What if I'm the one who can't let myself be happy? Because I'm scared, or I prefer to wallow in self-pity, or I don't believe I deserve good things, or some other reason. Whenever something good happens to me I always find myself thinking: I wonder how long it will be until this turns out badly. And I almost want the worst to happen sooner, sooner rather than later, and if possibile straight away, so at least I don't have to feel anxious about it anymore.”
Sally Rooney, Beautiful World, Where Are You
