“Perhaps live with the knowledge that Demeter did her best given her circumstances and yet know that does not mean your trauma is invalid. We are all broken, Persephone. It’s what we do with pieces that matters.”
― Scarlett St. Clair, A Touch of Malice

“The first time someone young and vibrant dies—someone you look up to, someone you relate to—it blows you back, right off your feet. Oh, fuck, we’re all gonna die, nobody knows when, nobody knows how, you think. And in that moment, you realize how little control you have over your own destiny. From the time you’re born, you have no control;”
― Renee Carlino, Before We Were Strangers

“You don’t have to make yourself OK for a good mother; a good mother makes herself OK for you”
― Taylor Jenkins Reid, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo

“in the case of real trauma, your brain isn’t great at making memories. It’s almost as if the camera is on but no one’s recording. So afterward, you go to review the tape, and it’s all but blank.”
― Taylor Jenkins Reid, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo
