“Having a mother helps you believe that everybody wants to hear every little thing you think. Having a mother helps you speak without thinking. It allows you to trust in your most awful self, to yell and scream and cry, knowing that your mother will still love you by the end of it.”
― Alison Espach, The Wedding People

“We must all find pointless causes to live for, or why bother with breath?”
― Shehan Karunatilaka, The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida

“Life is strange. Always thinking that this one thing is going to make you happy. Because then you get it. And then you’re maybe not as happy as you imagined you would be. Because every day is just every day. Like the happiness becomes so big you have no choice but to live inside it. Until you can no longer see or feel it. And so you start to fixate on something else.”
― Alison Espach, The Wedding People

“You are not the you that you think you are. You are everything you have thought and done and been and seen.”
― Shehan Karunatilaka, The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida
