“Falling in love is the most dangerous thing women like us can do.”
Natasha Ngan, Girls of Paper and Fire

Taylor Jenkins Reid
“When there is only you, you do not get to choose which jobs you want, you do not get to decide you are incapable of anything. There is no room for distaste or weakness. You must do it all. All of the ugliness, the sadness, the things most people can’t stand to even think about, all must live inside of you. You must be capable of everything.”
Taylor Jenkins Reid, Malibu Rising

“Kit, particularly, grieved the way some people drink, which is to say: rarely but always alone and to excess.”
Taylor Jenkins Reid, Malibu Rising

“Small boundaries broken, snapped like tiny twigs, so many that June barely noticed he was coming for the whole tree.”
Taylor Jenkins Reid, Malibu Rising

Adrienne Rich
“In lying to others we end up lying to ourselves. We deny the importance of an event, or a person, and thus deprive ourselves of a part of our lives. Or we use one piece of the past or present to screen out another. Thus we lose faith even in our own lives.
An honourable human relationship—that is, one in which two people have the right to use the word “love”—is a process, delicate, violent, often terrifying to both persons involved, a process of refining the truths they can tell each other.
It is important to do this because it breaks down human self-delusion and isolation.
It is important to do this because in so doing we do justice to our own complexity.
It is important to do this because we can count on so few people to go that hard way with us.
[…]
It isn’t that to have an honourable relationship with you, I have to understand everything, or tell you everything at once, or that I can know, beforehand, everything I need to tell you.
It means that most of the time I am eager, longing for the possibility of telling you. That these possibilities may seem frightening, but not destructive, to me. That I feel strong enough to hear your tentative and groping words. That we both know we are trying, all the time, to extend the possibilities of truth between us.
The possibility of life between us.”
Adrienne Rich, Women and Honor: Some Notes on Lying
