Kate Chopin
“I would give up the unessential; I would give up my money, I would give up my life for my children; but I wouldn't give myself. I can't make it more clear; it's only something I am beginning to comprehend, which is revealing itself to me.”
Kate Chopin, The Awakening

“You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
are moving across the landscapes,
over the prairies and the deep trees,
the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,
are heading home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting –
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things.”
Mary Oliver

George Eliot
“It is never too late to be what you might have been.”
George Eliot

Kate Chopin
“but whatever came, she had resolved never again to belong to another than herself.”
Kate Chopin, The Awakening

Matthew Quick
“There will always be a part of me that is dirty and sloppy, but I like that, just like all the other parts of myself.”
Matthew Quick, The Silver Linings Playbook
