Lauren Groff, Fates and Furies

Helen Humphreys
“Memory is a barricade against forgetting; light is a bulwark against darkness; life is a flex against the stillness of the grave.

Joan Didion
“We tell ourselves stories in order to live...We look for the sermon in the suicide, for the social or moral lesson in the murder of five. We interpret what we see, select the most workable of the multiple choices.

Joan Didion, The White Album

J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye

“The thing is you have to fight the whole time. You can't stop. Otherwise you just end up somewhere, bobbing in the middle of a life you never wanted.”
Alexander Maksik, You Deserve Nothing
