Ann Patchett
“I have found that when you start to wonder about who you've hurt in this life, you can easily lose your mind.”
― ann patchett

Sally Hepworth
“Friends are like oxygen. If you’ve been blessed enough to have always been surrounded by friends, you might think I’m overplaying this. I don’t blame you. If you’d always been surrounded by air, you wouldn’t think to credit it for your very existence either. But I’ve spent much of my life gasping for breath, so I promise you, it’s true. Friends are like oxygen.”
― Sally Hepworth, Mad Mabel

Sally Hepworth
“As far as I'm concerned calling your child Sailor was a declaration that you had far too much time on your hands and anyone who attempted to name their child that should be issued the name Eustace or Darold by the government as punishment.”
― Sally Hepworth, Mad Mabel

Tayari Jones
“you gave me the care that people save for kin.”
― Tayari Jones, Kin

Maya Angelou
“Tears
The crystal rags
Viscous tatters
of a worn-through soul”
― Maya Angelou
