Stephanie Danler
“I wanted to say, My life is full. I chose this life because it's a constant assault of color and taste and light and it's raw and ugly and fast and it's mine. And you'll never understand. Until you live it, you don't know.”
Stephanie Danler, Sweetbitter

Stephanie Danler
“When you can’t see in front of you life is nothing but surprises. Looking back, there were truly so few of them.”
Stephanie Danler, Sweetbitter

Cheryl Strayed
“You don’t have to get a job that makes others feel comfortable about what they perceive as your success. You don’t have to explain what you plan to do with your life. You don’t have to justify your education by demonstrating its financial rewards. You don’t have to maintain an impeccable credit score. Anyone who expects you to do any of those things has no sense of history or economics or science or the arts.
You have to pay your electric bill. You have to be kind. You have to give it all you got. You have to find people who love you truly and love them back with the same truth. But that’s all.”
Cheryl Strayed, Tiny Beautiful Things: Advice on Love and Life from Dear Sugar

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
“Your feminist premise should be: I matter. I matter equally. Not “if only.” Not “as long as.” I matter equally. Full stop.”
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Dear Ijeawele, or A Feminist Manifesto in Fifteen Suggestions

Stephanie Danler
“As I contemplated the skyline this double feeling came to me as one thought, pressing in from either side of the bridge, impossible for me to reconcile: It is ludicrous for anyone to live here and I can never leave.”
Stephanie Danler, Sweetbitter
