“No one is coming to save you. People don’t suddenly change, say they’re sorry and begin to treat you with respect. They are a jumble of hurt and pain and they will take it out on whomever they can.”
― Evie Woods, The Lost Bookshop

“So, like, instead of saying “sorry for being late”, she’d say, “thanks for waiting”, and instead of saying “sorry for being such a mess” she’d say, “thanks for being so understanding”,”
― Eleanor Catton, Birnam Wood

“C’est la vie.”
― Kate Morton, Homecoming
