Jeffrey Eugenides
“She held herself very straight, like Audrey Hepburn, whom all women idolize and men never think about.”
Jeffrey Eugenides, The Virgin Suicides

Joan Didion
“We are not idealized wild things.
We are imperfect mortal beings, aware of that mortality even as we push it away, failed by our very complication, so wired that when we mourn our losses we also mourn, for better or for worse, ourselves. As we were. As we are no longer. As we will one day not be at all.”
Joan Didion, The Year of Magical Thinking

Sylvia Plath
“No day is safe from news of you.

--from "The Rival", written July 1961”
Sylvia Plath, Ariel

Ottessa Moshfegh
“If you want something and can't have it, want something else. Want what you deserve. You'll probably get it.”
Ottessa Moshfegh, Homesick for Another World

Jeanette Winterson
“There are times when it will go so wrong that you will barely be alive, and times when you realise that being barely alive, on your own terms, is better than living a bloated half-life on someone else's terms.”
Jeanette Winterson, Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal?
