"Been a while since I read his first book. She's Come Undone was great but then I was almost going to college when I read it. I kinda related to the protagonist because I did have a stage where I used food to cope, etc.

Anyway, some people think Lamb had lost his touch, but I'll read further and form my own opinion once I'm deeper into the book."

Virginia Woolf
“I really don't advise a woman who wants to have things her own way to get married”
Virginia Woolf

Neil Gaiman
“No, look, there's a blue box. It's bigger on the inside than it is on the outside. It can go anywhere in time and space and sometimes even where it's meant to go. And when it turns up, there's a bloke in it called The Doctor and there will be stuff wrong and he will do his best to sort it out and he will probably succeed 'cause he's awesome. Now sit down, shut up, and watch 'Blink'.”
Neil Gaiman

Virginia Woolf
“To love makes one solitary.”
Virginia Woolf, Mrs. Dalloway

Howard Schultz
“Grow with discipline. Balance intuition with rigor. Innovate around the core. Don't embrace the status quo. Find new ways to see. Never expect a silver bullet. Get your hands dirty. Listen with empathy and overcommunicate with transparency. Tell your story, refusing to let others define you. Use authentic experiences to inspire. Stick to your values, they are your foundation. Hold people accountable, but give them the tools to succeed. Make the tough choices; it's how you execute that counts. Be decisive in times of crisis. Be nimble. Find truth in trials and lessons in mistakes. Be responsible for what you see, hear, and do. Believe.”
Howard Schultz, Onward: How Starbucks Fought for Its Life without Losing Its Soul

Esther Perel
“It’s hard to feel attracted to someone who has abandoned her sense of autonomy.”
Esther Perel, Mating in Captivity: Unlocking Erotic Intelligence
