“I’m a coward. I run from knowing everything. I avoid thinking about the ocean or space—they’re too big. I can’t grasp death.

To know you can see someone only by looking back.”
― Sarah Jackson, A Bit Much

“I’ve always denied looking like my mother even when others have noted a resemblance. It’s not that I don’t think she’s pretty, it’s just that I’ve resisted being like her in any way because I find her unartistic and ordinary.”

“She says she’s proud of me. I think she might say it only to reassure herself that she’s a good mother.”
