“It's amazing that relationships can form and last under the constraints of never fully knowing. Never knowing for sure what the other person is thinking.
Never knowing for sure who a person is. We can't do whatever we want. There are ways we have to act.
There are things we have to say.
But we can think whatever we want.”
― Iain Reid, I'm Thinking of Ending Things

“A person was like a city. You couldn't let a few less desirable parts put you off the whole. There may be bits you don't like, a few dodgy side streets and suburbs, but the good stuff makes it worthwhile.”
― Matt Haig, The Midnight Library

“Doesn't it overwhelm you sometimes -- To be alive? Don't you sometimes feel like at any moment you could be torn away from yourself? From your life?”
― Sarah Rose Etter, Ripe

“Maybe there must always be two of us—our real selves and the ones we create to survive in the world as it is.”
― Sarah Rose Etter, Ripe
