Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
“If you’re telling a non-black person about something racist that happened to you, make sure you are not bitter. Don’t complain. Be forgiving. If possible, make it funny. Most of all, do not be angry. Black people are not supposed to be angry about racism. Otherwise you get no sympathy. This applies only for white liberals, by the way. Don’t even bother telling a white conservative about anything racist that happened to you. Because the conservative will tell you that YOU are the real racist and your mouth will hang open in confusion.”
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Americanah

Carrie Fisher
“Resentment is like drinking a poison and waiting for the other person to die.”
Carrie Fisher, Wishful Drinking

Peter Heller
“I think now that maybe true sweetness can only happen in limbo. I don't know why. Is it because we are so unsure, so tentative and waiting? Like it needs that much room, that much space to expand. The not knowing anything really, the hoping, the aching transience: This is not real, not really, and so we let it alone, let it unfold lightly. Those times that can fly.”
Peter Heller, The Dog Stars

Peter Heller
“She also confessed that in an odd way she was happier here than she'd ever been. Even with all the loss. Happier being whatever that was. Than waiting.”
Peter Heller, The Dog Stars

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
“They never said “I don’t know.” They said, instead, “I’m not sure,” which did not give any information but still suggested the possibility of knowledge.”
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Americanah
