“None of us will be okay, in the end. The not-okay is coming for everyone... We act like there are safe places. We behave as though if we work hard and acquire the right things, gain the right access, put ourselves in the right zones, we can arrive someplace where danger can't touch us- where anything can't happen. We pretend that if we can identify someone else's loss as greater than our own, we won't lose. But nothing really guards our lives. Lifeguards don't exist.”
― Mary Laura Philpott, I Miss You When I Blink: Essays

“Não se pode voltar para casa - é que os lugares não necessariamente mudam, mas as pessoas, sim. Então, nada parece igual.”
― Lauren Oliver, Before I Fall

“I learned that the cells in our body are replaced every seven years, which means that one day, I'll have a body full of cells that were never sick. sbut it also means that the parts of me that knee and loved Sadie will disappear. I'll still remember loving her, but it'll be a different me who loved her. And maybe that is how we move on. We grow new cells to replace the grieving ones, diluting our pain until it loses potency.”
― Robyn Schneider, Extraordinary Means
