Kristin Hannah
“Passion is a thunderstorm, there and gone. It nourishes, si, but it drowns, too.”
Kristin Hannah, The Four Winds

Kristin Hannah
“A warrior believes in an end she can’t see and fights for it. A warrior never gives up. A warrior fights for those weaker than herself. It sounds like motherhood to me.”
Kristin Hannah, The Four Winds

Lindy West
“Americans are addicted to plausible deniability. If we can't even think critically about something as relatively insignificant as an internet cat or admit that a person might give a pet an offensive name or apologize honestly for small, careless slights, how are we ever going to reckon with the fact that our country was built by slaves on land stolen from people on whom we perpetrated a genocide? What the f*ck are we going to do? Our propensity for always, always, always choosing what is comfortable over what is right helped pave the road to this low and surreal moment in US history.”
Lindy West, The Witches Are Coming

Deborah Levy
“We did not yet entirely understand that Mother, as imagined and politicized by the Societal System, was a delusion. The world loved the delusion more than it loved the mother.”
Deborah Levy, Things I Don't Want to Know

Rebecca Fishbein
“The thing about losing your mind is that it happens when you’re not paying attention. Depression is like a bedbug infestation—you keep waking up with bite-sized welts of self-doubt and sadness that at first you rationalize away, tricking yourself into believing you’re not sleeping enough or are undercaffeinated or just have a teeny case of the blues. Then one day you can’t get out of bed. That lasts for a week. Now you’ve got a problem. *”
