Matt Haig
“She realised that you could be as honest as possible in life, but people only see the truth if it is close enough to their reality.”
Matt Haig, The Midnight Library

Matt Haig
“It is easy to mourn the lives we aren't living. Easy to wish we'd developed other other talents, said yes to different offers. Easy to wish we'd worked harder, loved better, handled our finances more astutely, been more popular, stayed in the band, gone to Australia, said yes to the coffee or done more bloody yoga.
It takes no effort to miss the friends we didn't make and the work we didn't do the people we didn't do and the people we didn't marry and the children we didn't have. It is not difficult to see yourself through the lens of other people, and to wish you were all the different kaleidoscopic versions of you they wanted you to be. It is easy to regret, and keep regretting, ad infinitum, until our time runs out.
But it is not lives we regret not living that are the real problem. It is the regret itself. It's the regret that makes us shrivel and wither and feel like our own and other people's worst enemy.
We can't tell if any of those other versions would of been better or worse. Those lives are happening, it is true, but you are happening as well, and that is the happening we have to focus on.”
Matt Haig, The Midnight Library

Matilda Boseley
“A common argument is that the real danger of people self-diagnosing with ADHD is that it could lead to people self-medicating for ADHD too.
But, I'm sorry... What?!
Do you believe there are actually people out there convincing themselves they have ADHD, purposefully deciding not to go to a doctor about it, and instead planning to buy a regular supply of Dexies from their sketchy cousin for literally 100x the prescription price?”
Matilda Boseley, The Year I Met My Brain: A travel companion for adults who have just found out they have ADHD

L. Frank Baum
“Neither. He's a—a—a meat dog.”
L. Frank Baum, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz

Matilda Boseley
“I wasn’t interrupting because I didn’t care what others had to say, but because I’d already worked out the end of their sentence and if I waited rather than blurting out my reply, my thoughts might disappear back into the buzz of noise in my head.”
Matilda Boseley, The Year I Met My Brain: A travel companion for adults who have just found out they have ADHD
