Jeanette Winterson
“I needed words because unhappy families are conspiracies of silence. The one who breaks the silence is never forgiven. He or she has to learn to forgive him or herself.”
Jeanette Winterson, Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal?

Jeanette Winterson
“I've always tried to make a home for myself, but I have not felt at home in myself. I've worked hard at being the hero of my own life. But every time I checked the register of displaced persons, I was still on it. I didn't know how to belong. Longing? Yes. Belonging? No.”
Jeanette Winterson, Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal?

Dorothy Allison
“Two or three things I know for sure, and one of them is the way you can both hate and love something you are not sure you understand.”
Dorothy Allison, Two or Three Things I Know for Sure

Cheryl Strayed
“There's no way to know what makes one thing happen and not another. What leads to what. What destroys what. What causes what to flourish or die or take another course.”
Cheryl Strayed, Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail

Jeanette Winterson
“The baby explodes into an unknown world that is only knowable through some kind of a story - of course that is how we all live, it's the narrative of our lives, but adoption drops you into the story after it has started. It's like reading a book with the first few pages missing. It's like arriving after curtain up. The feeling that something is missing never, ever leaves you - and it can't, and it shouldn't, because something IS missing. That isn't of its nature negative. The missing part, the missing past, can be an opening, not a void. It can be an entry as well as an exit. It is the fossil record, the imprint of another life, and although you can never have that life, your fingers trace the space where it might have been, and your fingers learn a kind of Braille.”
Jeanette Winterson, Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal?
