Amy Reads Almost Everything

“This was an all too familiar social scenario for me; standing alone, staring into the middle of distance. It was absolutely fine. It was absolutely normal. After the fire, at each new school, I'd tried so hard, but something about me just didn't fit. There was, it seemed, no Eleanor-shaped social hole for me to slot into.”

“I believe we find our sense of stability, our place in life, by participating in society, by coming to belong somewhere and taking on the title of that position - mother, teacher, doctor. Not belonging anywhere, not having a title of some sort, means, in effect, that you're not really a member of society.”
― Kanae Minato, Confessions

“What is my identity, even? What the fuck is that? How would I know? I've pretended to be other people my whole life, my whole childhood and adolescence and young adulthood. The years that you're supposed to spend finding yourself, I was spending pretending to be other people.”
― Jennette McCurdy, I’m Glad My Mom Died

“I wonder for what you hunger and whether you allow yourself to feel it.”
― Kat Dunn, Hungerstone
