Hanya Yanagihara
“Always, there are people asking him if he misses what it had never occurred to him to want, never occurred to him he might have:”
Hanya Yanagihara, A Little Life

Jenny  Lawson
“To all who walk the dark path, and to those who walk in the sunshine but hold out a hand in the darkness to travel beside us: Brighter days are coming. Clearer sight will arrive.

Jenny Lawson, Furiously Happy: A Funny Book About Horrible Things

Jenny Lawson, Furiously Happy: A Funny Book About Horrible Things
