Sally Rooney
“I was tired, it was late, I was sitting half-asleep in the back of a taxi, remembering strangely that wherever I go, you are with me, and so is he, and that as long as you both live the world will be beautiful to me.”
Sally Rooney, Beautiful World, Where Are You

Alison Espach
“I like knowing that my problems exist within a large and respected tradition of problems. That ever since the beginning of civilization, humans have been very upset.”
Alison Espach, Notes on Your Sudden Disappearance

Kathleen Jennings
“Strange, what chooses to flourish here. Which plants. Which stories.”
Kathleen Jennings, Flyaway

Sally Rooney
“Maybe we're just born to love and worry about the people we know, and to go on loving and worrying even when there are more important things we should be doing. And if that means the human species is going to die out, isn't it in a way a nice reason to die out, the nicest reason you can imagine? Because when we should have been reorganising the distribution of the world's resources and transitioning collectively to a sustainable economic model, we were worrying about sex and friendship instead. Because we loved each other too much and found each other too interesting. And I love that about humanity, and in fact it's the very reason I root for us to survive - because we are so stupid about each other.”
Sally Rooney, Beautiful World, Where Are You

Margaret Renkl
“Blessed are the parents whose final words on leaving—the house, the car, the least consequential phone call—are always “I love you.” They will leave behind children who are lost and still found, broken and, somehow, still whole.”
Margaret Renkl, Late Migrations: A Natural History of Love and Loss
