“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

“For every sensation Regan could conjure, there was an artist who had beautifully suffered the same.”
― Olivie Blake, Alone With You in the Ether

“I was tired, it was late, I was sitting half-asleep in the back of a taxi, remembering strangely that wherever I go, you are with me, and so is he, and that as long as you both live the world will be beautiful to me.”
― Sally Rooney, Beautiful World, Where Are You

“Whatever you are made of, Charlotte Regan, I am made of it, too.”
― Olivie Blake, Alone With You in the Ether
