Elizabeth Acevedo
“And I think about all the things we could be
if we were never told our bodies were not built for them.”
Elizabeth Acevedo, The Poet X

Elif Shafak
“Try not to resist the changes that come your way. Instead let life live through you. And do not worry that your life is turning upside down. How do you know that the side you are used to is better than the one to come?
Elif Shafak”
Elif Shafak, The Forty Rules of Love

Ali Smith
“The lifelong friends, he said. We sometimes wait a lifetime for them.”
Ali Smith, Autumn

Ali Smith
“It's all right to forget, you know, he said. It's good to. In fact, we have to forget things sometimes. Forgetting it is important. We do it on purpose. It means we get a bit of a rest. Are you listening? We have to forget. Or we'd never sleep ever again.”
Ali Smith, Autumn

Michelle Obama
“Now I think it’s one of the most useless questions an adult can ask a child—What do you want to be when you grow up? As if growing up is finite. As if at some point you become something and that’s the end.”
Michelle Obama, Becoming
