― Joan Didion, The White Album

“Grammar is a piano I play by ear.”
― Joan Didion, Joan Didion: Essays & Conversations

“Sleep is not a dead space, but a doorway to a different kind of consciousness—one that is reflective and restorative, full of tangential thought and unexpected insights. In winter, we are invited into a particular mode of sleep: not a regimented eight hours, but a slow, ambulatory process in which waking thoughts merge with dreams, and space is made in the blackest hours to repair the fragmented narratives of our days.”
― Katherine May, Wintering: The Power of Rest and Retreat in Difficult Times

“To free us from the expectations of others, to give us back to ourselves--there lies the great, singular power of self-respect.”
― Joan Didion
