“People who are “normal” as a result of good parenting—even just decent parenting—are very lucky. Yeah, I know, everyone’s hell is relative, and blah, blah, blah, but those people are very fortunate.”
Rosie Pérez, Handbook for an Unpredictable Life: How I Survived Sister Renata and My Crazy Mother, and Still Came Out Smiling

William Congreve
“Say what you will, ’tis better to be left than never to have been loved.”
William Congreve

Billie Holiday
“Tony kept my job open. He offered to backstop me with the money I needed. But it was the way he did it I’ll never forget, with love and respect, like a human being holding out his hand to someone who needed it.”
Billie Holiday, Lady Sings the Blues

Akwaeke Emezi
“And that’s something I’ve learned in the years since, that there are so many different types of love, so many ways someone can stay committed to you, stay in your life even if y’all aren’t together, you know? And none of these ways are more important than the other.”
Akwaeke Emezi, You Made a Fool of Death With Your Beauty

Sherwood Anderson
“Dare to be strong and courageous. That is the road. Venture anything.”
Sherwood Anderson
