Taylor Jenkins Reid
“I fell in love with the wrong guy who was exactly the right guy.”
Taylor Jenkins Reid, Daisy Jones & The Six

Taylor Jenkins Reid
“People say that life keeps moving, but they don't mention that it does stop sometimes, just for you. Just for you and your girl. The world stops spinning and just lets you two lie there. Feels like it, anyway. Sometimes. If you're lucky.”
Taylor Jenkins Reid, Daisy Jones & The Six

Taylor Jenkins Reid
“And she said, “A part of me wishes you wanted kids, because my kids make me so happy. But... I think in order to be happy like I’m happy, you need different things. And I want you to have whatever those things are.”
Taylor Jenkins Reid, Daisy Jones & The Six

Taylor Jenkins Reid
“SIMONE: I was getting a lot of phone calls from Daisy at all hours of the day. I’d say, “Let me come get you.” And she’d refuse. I thought about trying to force her into rehab. But you can’t do that. You can’t control another person. It doesn’t matter how much you love them. You can’t love someone back to health and you can’t hate someone back to health and no matter how right you are about something, it doesn’t mean they will change their mind.

I used to rehearse speeches and interventions and consider flying to where she was and dragging her off that stage—as if, if I could just get the words right, I could convince her to get sober. You drive yourself crazy, trying to put words in some magical order that will unlock their sanity. And when it doesn’t work, you think, I didn’t try hard enough. I didn’t talk to her clearly enough.

But at some point, you have to recognize that you have no control over anybody and you have to step back and be ready to catch them when they fall and that’s all you can do. It feels like throwing yourself to sea. Or, maybe not that. Maybe it’s more like throwing someone you love out to sea and then praying they float on their own, knowing they might well drown and you’ll have to watch.”
Taylor Jenkins Reid, Daisy Jones & The Six

Hattie Williams
“When she died, I felt as if my world stopped turning. As if I was frozen in time. In the years and weeks and days since, when I’d think of her, I’d feel like a little girl, not a professional woman, not an independent adult. Every heartbreak, every flu, every birthday and Christmas, it would hit me, and it would, I guessed, for the rest of my life.”
Hattie Williams, Bitter Sweet
