“inside I am aflame with gratitude that I have only myself to carry around, however heavy all these me’s might currently be.”
Glynnis MacNicol, I'm Mostly Here to Enjoy Myself: One Woman's Pursuit of Pleasure in Paris

Sally Rooney
“Of course if we all stay alone and practise celibacy and carefully police our personal boundaries, many problems will be avoided, but it seems we will also have almost nothing left that makes life wortwhile. I guess you could say the old ways of being together were wrong--they were!--and that we didn't want to repeat old mistakes--we didn't. But when we tore down what confined us, what did we have in mind to replace it?...What do we have now? Instead? Nothing. And we hate people for making mistakes so much more than we love them for doing good that the easiest way to live is to do nothing, say nothing, and love no one.”
Sally Rooney, Beautiful World, Where Are You

“And I think if I believed in God, I wouldn't want to prostrate myself before him and ask for forgiveness. I would just want to thank him every day, for everything.”

“I feel so frightened of being hurt – not of the suffering, which I know I can handle, but the indignity of suffering, the indignity of being open to it.”

“What if the meaning of life on earth is not eternal progress toward some unspecified goal—the engineering and production of more and more powerful technologies, the development of more and more complex and abstruse cultural forms? What if these things just rise and recede naturally, like tides, while the meaning of life remains the same always—just to live and be with other people?”
Sally Rooney, Beautiful World, Where Are You
