James Baldwin
“Tell me, he said, "What is this thing about time? Why is it better to be late than early? People are always saying, we must wait, we must wait. what are they waiting for?"

"Well […] I guess people wait in order to make sure of what they feel."

"And when you have waited—-has it made you sure?”
James Baldwin, Giovanni’s Room

Raymond Carver
“and it ought to make us feel ashamed when we talk like we know what we're talking about when we talk about love.”
Raymond Carver, What We Talk About When We Talk About Love

Clarice Lispector
“But don't forget, in the meantime, that this is the season for strawberries. Yes.”
Clarice Lispector, The Hour of the Star

“If God wanted me to give you up, he wouldn't have made me who I am.”
Sally Rooney, Beautiful World, Where Are You

Ottessa Moshfegh
“Here is how I spend my days now. I live in a beautiful place. I sleep in a beautiful bed. I eat beautiful food. I go for walks through beautiful places. I care for people deeply. At night my bed is full of love, because I alone am in it. I cry easily, from pain and pleasure, and I don’t apologize for that. In the mornings I step outside and I’m thankful for another day. It took me many years to arrive at such a life.”
Ottessa Moshfegh, Eileen
