“But there’s only so long you can blame what you’ve been through for what you do. At some point, you gotta blame yourself.”
Angie Thomas, On the Come Up

Frances Cha
“In America, one of my professors said once that the best art comes from an unbearable life—if you live through it, that is.”
Frances Cha, If I Had Your Face

James Altucher, Choose Yourself: Be Happy, Make Millions, Live the Dream

“I had absolutely no interest in being somebody else's muse.
I am not a muse.
I am the somebody.
End of fucking story.”
Taylor Jenkins Reid, Daisy Jones & The Six
