Sally Rooney
“I realised my life would be full of mundane physical suffering, and that there was nothing special about it. Suffering wouldn't make me special, and pretending not to suffer wouldn't make me special. Talking about it, or even writing about it, would not transform the suffering into something useful.”
Sally Rooney, Conversations with Friends

Emma Donoghue
“I've seen the world and I'm tired now.”
Emma Donoghue, Room

Elena Ferrante
“...maybe, in the face of abandonment, we are all the same; maybe not even a very orderly mind can endure the discovery of not being loved.”
Elena Ferrante, Those Who Leave and Those Who Stay

Elena Ferrante
“Each of us narrates our life as it suits us.”
Elena Ferrante, Those Who Leave and Those Who Stay

Melina Marchetta
“I think the worst thing that ever happened to me was leaving home," she says honestly.
"Why?"
"Because I miss it like you'd never believe, and then I go away from this place and I miss here too. I'm scared I'm going to spend the rest of my life in a state of yearning, regardless of where I am.”
Melina Marchetta, The Piper's Son
