“True sisterhood, the kind where you grew fingernails in the same womb, were pushed screaming through identical birth canals, is not the same as friendship. You don’t choose each other, and there’s no furtive period of getting to know the other. You’re part of each other, right from the start. Look at an umbilical cord—tough, sinuous, unlovely, yet essential—and compare it to a friendship bracelet of brightly woven thread. That is the difference between a sister and a friend.”
― Coco Mellors, Blue Sisters

“Thank God for girlfriends. In this crazy, chaotic, divided world that was run by men, you could count on the women.”

“It was bewildering, how closely grief ran alongside joy.”
― Eowyn Ivey, Black Woods Blue Sky
