“We'd get sick on too many cookies, but ever so much sicker on no cookies at all.”
― Sinclair Lewis

“So now I just assume that it won't work, and that if it does work, I'll lose it anyway. This is meant to protect me, although it doesn't, because somehow the hope sneakily finds its way in. I'm never aware of the hope until it's gone, whooshed away like a rug pulled from under my feet, each time I hear another "I'm sorry.”
― Liane Moriarty, What Alice Forgot
