Sally Rooney
“Maybe certain kinds of pain, at certain formative stages in life, just impress themselves into a person's sense of self permanently.”
Sally Rooney, Beautiful World, Where Are You
tags: life, pain

Dolly Alderton
“Keep putting love out into the world and it will come back to you in one way or another.”
Dolly Alderton, Dear Dolly

C Pam Zhang
“We all die. We have only the choice, if we are privileged, of whether death comes with a whimper or a bang; of what worlds we taste before we go.”
C Pam Zhang, Land of Milk and Honey

Dolly Alderton
“I once had my heart broken – a proper sledgehammer job – and I went for a drink with a friend who is happily married in her forties with a child. My tears collected in a wine glass and I told her that I wanted to sleep until it was over. She held me by the shoulders and said: ‘One day you’ll look back on this and you will think, I was never more alive.’ I don’t want to romanticize your pain, but I now understand exactly what she meant. Grief is an electric shock that tells us we are fully alive – it means we’re connecting and creating and caring. We’re participating. We’re making the most of this short go. We’re opening up and taking risks, we’re tangling ourselves in other lives.”
Dolly Alderton, Dear Dolly

Rachel Khong
“But most people in America, those who are fed and clothed and housed, can choose what to care about. From your comfortable position you can decide if you want to know about people in Syria or Myanmar, with the flip of a television switch.”
Rachel Khong, Real Americans
