“Seeing him across a room still made my heart pick up speed. My life had begun again when I met him. And yet none of that meant we should stay together. I'd been so foolish to think love could change the essential nature of anything.”
― Kimberly McCreight, A Good Marriage

“The list of my fears is long, but there is one dizzying fear that surpasses all the rest. My greatest fear is that one day people will say about us: that man spent thirty-five years with a woman who wasn't the one.”
― Maud Ventura, My Husband

“We believe the one who has power. He is the one who gets to write the story. So when you study history, you must ask yourself, Whose story am I missing? Whose voice was suppressed so that this voice could come forth? Once you have figured that out, you must find that story too. From there you get a clearer, yet still imperfect, picture.”
― Yaa Gyasi, Homegoing

“All her life, she had learned that passion, like fire, was a dangerous thing. It so easily went out of control. It scaled walls and jumped over trenches. Sparks leapt like fleas and spread as rapidly; a breeze could carry embers for miles. Better to control that spark and pass it carefully from one generation to the next, like an Olympic torch. Or, perhaps, to tend it carefully like an eternal flame: a reminder of light and goodness that would never - could never - set anything ablaze. Carefully controlled. Domesticated. Happy in captivity. The key, she thought, was to avoid conflagration.”
― Celeste Ng, Little Fires Everywhere
