“One of the strange things about adulthood is that you are your current self, but you are also all the selves you used to be, the ones you grew out of but can’t ever quite get rid of.”
― John Green, The Anthropocene Reviewed: Essays on a Human-Centered Planet

“When someone dies, everything about them becomes past tense. Except for the grief. Grief stays in the present.”
― Angeline Boulley, Firekeeper's Daughter

“All parents want to hear good things about their children, but sometimes you had to say bad things. If you said the bad things too subtly, the parents didn’t believe you. If you said the bad things too baldly, the parents got upset. Actually, they often didn’t believe you anyway and then they got upset, too. It was like having an intervention for an alcoholic every twenty minutes for an entire working day.”
― Katherine Heiny, Early Morning Riser
