“Not all of us receive the ends that we deserve. Many moments that change a life's course - a conversation with a stranger on a ship, for example - are pure luck. And yet no one writes you a letter, or chooses you as their confessor, without good reason. This is what she taught me: you have to be ready in order to be lucky. You have to put your pieces into play.”
― Jessie Burton, The Muse

“Every time you spend money, you're casting a vote for the kind of world you want.”
― Anna Lappe

“You can do more with rumour than you can with fact”
― Jessie Burton, The Muse

“Like most artists, everything I produced was connected to who I was - and so I suffered according to how my work was received. The idea that anyone might be able to detach their personal value from their public output was revolutionary.”
― Jessie Burton, The Muse
