“For so long, we woman have turned our anger inwards, redirecting it towards ourselves and allowing it to manifest as shame. We have told ourselves, instead, that we are sad or hormonal or stressed, but these have been placeholder emotions. And for so long we have been encouraged to do this by a misogynistic culture that realises female anger is dangerous not because it is the product of mental imbalance but because it is fuel. Female anger is power.”
Elizabeth Day, How to Fail

Matt Haig
“You make the wrong decision in the present and it haunts you, just as the Treaty of Versaillles in nineteen nineteen sowed the ground for Hitler to take power in nineteen thirty-three, so every present moment is paying for a future one. Just one wrong turn can get you very lost. What you do in the present stays with you. It comes back. You don’t get away with anything.”
Matt Haig, How to Stop Time

“There comes a time when the only way to start living is to tell the truth. To be who you really are, even if it is dangerous.”

“Philip K. Dick wrote that it is sometimes an appropriate response to reality to go insane.”

“It wasn’t just the loss of people I had known but also the loss of myself. The loss of who I had been when I had been with them.”
Matt Haig, How to Stop Time
