Sara Pascoe
“What's that Einstein quote about expecting different results from the same person? I shouldn't feel bad - I'm here, aren't I, I'm not the parent who didn't even text. Or the one who locked themselves in their bedroom half of Christmas. Talking like this, it's become clear that we are the main parts. This has all been about us, the sisters. I hadn't realised. I tell my mouth not to share these thoughts and Dana offers me another cigarette.”
Sara Pascoe, Weirdo

“I feel homesick but I don’t know where for.”

“There is no such thing as a happy place. Because when you are happy, everywhere is a happy place. And when you are sad, everywhere is a sad place.”
Alison Espach, The Wedding People

Lang Leav
“He said loving me was like seeing the ocean for the first time. Watching the waves crash senselessly against the rocks, over and over. Grabbing fistfuls of sand as it trickled through his fingers, like my hair, brittle as ebony, strong and taut like the bumps of his knuckles. He said it was like swallowing his first mouthful of the sea — the sudden shock of betrayal.”
Lang Leav, The Universe of Us

فاروق جويدة
“لا تحزني...
إن صارت الدنيا
حطاماً حولنا
فالصبح سوف يجيئ
من هذا الحطام

فالصبح سوف يجيئ
من هذا الحطام”
فاروق جويدة, لأني أحبك
