Book cover for Writers & Lovers
‘It’s like there’s this gristle between me and the world,’ he says. ‘I’m trying to work my way through it. I’m just moving really slowly. It’s hard work. It’s tough gristle.’

Lori Gottlieb
“Relationships in life don't really end, even if you never see the person again. Every person you've been close to lives on somewhere inside you. Your past lovers, your parents, your friends, people both alive and dead (symbolically or literally)--all of them evoke memories, conscious or not.”
Lori Gottlieb, Maybe You Should Talk to Someone: A Therapist, Her Therapist, and Our Lives Revealed

Anna Burns
“Cats are not adoring like dogs. They don’t care. They can never be relied upon to shore up a human ego. They go their way, do their thing, are not subservient and will never apologise. No one has ever come across a cat apologising and if a cat did, it would patently be obvious it was not being sincere.”
Anna Burns, Milkman

Andy  Marr
“I can’t stop my thoughts. I can’t stop comparing myself to others. I can’t stop looking at myself, both directly and in the mirror;”
Andy Marr, Hunger for Life

Elton John
“You may still be standing, dear,’ it read, ‘but the rest of us are on the fucking floor.”
Elton John, Me

Leigh Bardugo
“I think fatigue suits you, Zoya. The pallor. The shadows beneath your eyes. You look like a heroine in a novel. "
"I look like a woman about to step on your foot. "
"Now, now. You're managing remarkably well. And the smiling hasn't killed you yet."
"Yet.”
Leigh Bardugo, King of Scars
