Susanna Kaysen
“I was trying to explain my situation to myself. My situation was that I was in pain and nobody knew it; even I had trouble knowing it. So I told myself, over and over, You are in pain. It was the only way I could get through to myself (“counteract feelings of ‘numbness’ ”). I was demonstrating, externally and irrefutably, an inward condition.”
Susanna Kaysen, Girl, Interrupted

Fredrik Backman
“Anxiety. It owns us but leaves no trace.”
Fredrik Backman, Us Against You

Lygia Fagundes Telles
“Sabe, Virgínia, vejo Laura como aquele espelho
despedaçado: a gente pode ir lá no fundo e colar os cacos, mas tudo então que ele vier a refletir, o céu, as árvores, as pessoas, tudo, tudo estará como ele próprio, partido em mil pedaços. Veja bem, triste não é o que possa vir a acontecer...
A morte, por exemplo. Triste é o que está acontecendo neste instante. Ela tem a cabeça doente, o coração doente. E não há remédio. Só o sopro lá dentro é que continua perfeito como o espelho antes de cair no chão.”
Lygia Fagundes Telles, Ciranda de Pedra

J.R.R. Tolkien
“It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings

Fredrik Backman
“It's a strange thing, becoming an orphan at sixteen. To lose your family long before you've had time to create your own to replace it. It's a very specific sort of loneliness.”
Fredrik Backman, A Man Called Ove
