Steve Goodier
“Get yourself grounded and you can navigate even the stormiest roads in peace.”
Steve Goodier

Chuck Palahniuk
“We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off.”
Chuck Palahniuk, Fight Club

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
“I think you travel to search and you come back home to find yourself there.”
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

Barbara Kingsolver
“But Anatole said suddenly, 'Don't expect God's protection in places beyond God's dominion. It will only make you feel punished. I'm warning you. When things go bad, you will blame yourself.'

'What are you telling me?'

'I am telling you what I'm telling you. Don't try to make life a mathematics problem with yourself in the center and everything coming out equal. When you are good, bad things can still happen. And if you are bad, you can still be lucky.”
Barbara Kingsolver, The Poisonwood Bible

Richard Yates
“That’s how we both got committed to this enormous delusion—because that’s what it is, an enormous, obscene delusion—this idea that people have to resign from real life and ‘settle down’ when they have families.”
Richard Yates, Revolutionary Road
