“You have these lines you won’t cross. But then you cross them. And suddenly you possess the very dangerous information that you can break the rule and the world won’t instantly come to an end. You’ve taken a big, black, bold line and you’ve made it a little bit gray. And now every time you cross it again, it just gets grayer and grayer until one day you look around and you think, There was a line here once, I think.”
― Taylor Jenkins Reid, Daisy Jones & The Six

“Why wasn’t friendship as good as a relationship? Why wasn’t it even better? It was two people who remained together, day after day, bound not by sex or physical attraction or money or children or property, but only by the shared agreement to keep going, the mutual dedication to a union that could never be codified.”
― Hanya Yanagihara, A Little Life

“Ageing is nothing to be ashamed of
Especially when the entire race is in it together
Although sometimes it seems that she alone among her friends wants to celebrate getting older
Because it’s such a privilege to not die prematurely”
― Bernardine Evaristo, Girl, Woman, Other

“Selvom verden var blevet én stor online social netværksklub på tværs af landegrænser og nationalitet, levede vi tilsyneladende stadig i bobler, hvor andres ulykke kun vedkom os, hvis det vakte genkendelse i os selv. Der var mere genkendelse i tragedien ved maratonløbet i et land, som vi kulturelt sammenlignede os med, end i angreb på syriske byer, ingen havde hørt om.”
― Puk Damsgård, Hvor solen græder: En fortælling fra Syrien
