“A handsome man is a fearsome liability to everyone but himself.”
Talia Hibbert, Act Your Age, Eve Brown

“Being depressed doesn’t mean I’m not happy. It’s like, happy is one color. And depressed is another color. And you can paint happy, and then paint a little depression around the edges.”
Adib Khorram, Darius the Great Deserves Better

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
“I read somewhere that love was about this, the nuggets of knowledge about our beloved that we so fluently hold”
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Zikora

Yaa Gyasi
“It took me many years to realize that it’s hard to live in this world. I don’t mean the mechanics of living, because for most of us, our hearts will beat, our lungs will take in oxygen, without us doing anything at all to tell them to. For most of us, mechanically, physically, it’s harder to die than it is to live. But still we try to die. We drive too fast down winding roads, we have sex with strangers without wearing protection, we drink, we use drugs. We try to squeeze a little more life out of our lives. It’s natural to want to do that. But to be alive in the world, every day, as we are given more and more and more, as the nature of “what we can handle” changes and our methods for how we handle it change, too, that’s something of a miracle.”
Yaa Gyasi, Transcendent Kingdom

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
“I looked at my mother, standing by the window. How had I never really seen her? It was my father who destroyed, and it was my mother I blamed for the ruins left behind.”
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Zikora
