“I thought: I cannot bear this world a moment longer. Then, child, make another.”
― Madeline Miller, Circe

“Somehow the gusts of wind we rode on in our twenties have landed us somewhere and we have to make this somewhere work. Because you can’t turn back the clock. It’s too late now to figure out whether you’re on the right gust or not. And you don’t want people to know you’re so stuck, and so scared and think it’s too late to get yourself out of this situation. You don’t want to fail when everyone else is supposedly thriving. And, you are happy, right? Sometimes you’re happy, anyway. And isn’t that what happiness is? Fleeting moments, rather than a permanent state of euphoria. And as long as it looks OK on the outside who cares, right?”

“Always know that my heart is out there, somewhere in the world, beating in time with yours”
― Katharine McGee, The Towering Sky

“But it takes strength to reject all the things the world tells you to be.”
