Elena Ferrante
“You see? In the fairy tales one does as one wants, and in reality one does what one can.”
Elena Ferrante, Those Who Leave and Those Who Stay

Elena Ferrante
“Become. It was a verb that had always obsessed me, but I realized it for the first time only in that situation. I wanted to become, even though I had never known what. And I had become, that was certain, but without an object, without a real passion, without a determined ambition. I had wanted to become something—here was the point—only because I was afraid that Lila would become someone and I would stay behind. My becoming was a becoming in her wake. I had to start again to become, but for myself, as an adult, outside of her.”
Elena Ferrante, Those Who Leave and Those Who Stay

Maggie Stiefvater
Want and need were words that got eaten smaller and smaller: Freedom, autonomy, a perennial bank balance, a stainless-steel condo in a dustless city, a silky black car, to make out with Blue, eight hours of sleep, a cell phone, a bed, to kiss Blue just once, a blister-less heel, bacon for breakfast, to hold Blue's hand, one hour of sleep, toilet paper, deodorant, a soda, a minute to close his eyes.

What do you want, Adam?

To feel awake when my eyes are open.
Maggie Stiefvater, The Dream Thieves

John Steinbeck
“Can you think that whatever made us—would stop trying?”
John Steinbeck, East of Eden

Virginia Woolf
“I am in the mood to dissolve in the sky.”
Virginia Woolf
