“Tessa distinguished absolutely between pain observed and pain shared. Pain observed is journalistic pain. It’s diplomatic pain. It’s television pain, over as soon as you switch off your beastly set.

― John le Carré, The Constant Gardener

“Anxiety's like a rocking chair. It gives you something to do, but it doesn't get you very far.”

“The world should take note: not everything is getting worse.”
― Ian McEwan, Saturday

“You know someone's right for you when the things they don't have to say are even more important than the things they do.”
― Jodi Picoult, Sing You Home
