“Whenever someone does something nice for me, I feel intensely aware of how strange and sad it is to know someone.”
― Emily R. Austin, Everyone in This Room Will Someday Be Dead

“I came to the realization that every moment exists in perpetuity regardless of whether it’s remembered. What has happened has happened; it occupies that moment in time forever. I was an eleven-year-old girl lying in the grass one summer. I knew in that moment that was true and recognized that I would blaze through moments for the rest of my life, forgetting things, and becoming ages older, until I forgot everything—so I consoled myself by committing to remember that one moment.”
― Emily R. Austin, Everyone in This Room Will Someday Be Dead

“Maybe this was motherhood, a feeling of benevolence for all human beings.”
― Emma Straub, All Adults Here

“O que mais existe no mundo são pessoas que nunca vão se conhecer. Nasceram em um lugar distante, e o acaso não fará com que se cruzem. Um desperdício. Muitos desses encontros destinados a não acontecer poderiam ter sido arrebatadores.”
― Carla Madeira, Tudo é Rio
