“The painful things you were certain you’d never be able to let go? Now you’re not entirely sure when they happened, while the thrilling parts, the heart-stopping joys, splintered and scattered and became something else. Memories are then replaced by different joys and larger sorrows, and unbelievably, those things get knocked aside as well, until one morning you’re picking cherries with your three grown daughters and your husband goes by on the Gator and you are positive that this is all you’ve ever wanted in the world.”
Ann Patchett, Tom Lake

Emma Straub
“That was next-level friendship—locking someone in through marriage.”
Emma Straub, This Time Tomorrow

Liz    Moore
“How many times in her life has she said yes to a boy or a man just because it was the easiest thing to do? How many times has she let a man take what he wanted, instead of taking something for herself?”
Liz Moore, The God of the Woods

Emma Straub
“It was still so strange to see her body—her young body, a body she hardly remembered as it was, because she’d been so busy seeing it as something it wasn’t.”
Emma Straub, This Time Tomorrow

Shelby Van Pelt
“You can't fix someone who is determined to stay broken.”
Shelby Van Pelt, Remarkably Bright Creatures
