John Banville
“The past beats inside me like a second heart.”
John Banville, The Sea

Emma Cline
“So much of desire, at that age, was a willful act. Trying so hard to slur the rough, disappointing edges of boys into the shape of someone we could love.”
Emma Cline, The Girls

Jill Alexander Essbaum
“To each her own fear. But I don't want to watch my life unfold. I want to unfold it myself, if you will. If there's something I want to do? I do it. If there's something I want? I chase it. And I Catch it. If I believe in something, I support it. If none of those things? Then ... nothing. Then I let it go.”
Jill Alexander Essbaum, Hausfrau

Paul Kalanithi
“Those burdens are what make medicine holy and wholly impossible: in taking up another’s cross, one must sometimes get crushed by the weight.”
Paul Kalanithi, When Breath Becomes Air

Toni Morrison
“Love is or it ain't. Thin love ain't love at all.”
Toni Morrison, Beloved
