Carmen Maria Machado
“A reminder to remember: just because the sharpness of the sadness has faded does not mean that it was not, once, terrible. It means only that time and space, creatures of infinite girth and tenderness, have stepped between the two of you, and they are keeping you safe as they were once unable to.”
Carmen Maria Machado, In the Dream House

“He said, 'What do you want?' All I could think of was peeling the skin of a Valencia orange in bed on a bright morning with someone pulling me into the covers because they want to spend two or three minutes nestling before starting their day. So I said, 'Not much.”
Marlowe Granados, Happy Hour

“Summer solstice came and went, and in a way, I find that sad because even though it is the longest day of the dear and marks the beginning of summer, from now on, the days grow shorter and shorter. It's true that some parties end before they even begin.”
Marlowe Granados, Happy Hour

Dolly Alderton
“Love is a quiet, reassuring, relaxing, pottering, pedantic, harmonious hum of a thing; something you can easily forget is there, even though its palms are outstretched beneath you in case you fall.”
Dolly Alderton, Everything I Know About Love

Jonathan Safran Foer
“Choosing to eat fewer animal products is probably the most important action an individual can take to reverse global warming—it has a known and significant effect on the environment, and, done collectively, would push the culture and the marketplace with more force than any march.”
Jonathan Safran Foer, We Are the Weather: Saving the Planet Begins at Breakfast
