“If determination alone is not enough, it simply means you are trying to solve the wrong problem. We just have to figure out the right problem, and then we can succeed.”
“That it’s “just a show” is exactly the problem, I howled. How can a TV show have taken on such outsized significance in my life? Because there’s nothing else to compete with it, that’s why! What had my life become? I wailed. There was nothing that was my own. All I had was Benedict Cumberbatch!”

“And is immortality necessarily good?" Roisin asked mildly. "What will happen when everyone you love is gone? When you're alone, and nothing matters any longer because you don't have the prospect of your own mortality to give it weight?"
"Listen, I understand you've got an argument to make, but never in my life have I thought, 'You know what really makes this lemon cake delicious? Knowing that one day I will die.”
― A Long Time Dead

“Her muscles had locked and released, seized and spasmed and twisted, Her organs had become a frightened mouse, her body the powerful snake digesting it.”
― A Long Time Dead

“When Audre Lorde wrote that oft-instagrammed quote: 'Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare,' she didn't mean that self-care should be selfish or a form of self-flagellation, that it should be an overpriced moisturizer or a painful procedure. Self-care, in reality, is supposed to coincide with community care. It means taking time for yourself so that you can better support those around you - resting so that you can be a part of the revolution, helping other women with child-care, prepping meals for those in need or providing a voice for the voiceless. We, as women, win and lose together. Sorority is self-care.”
