“- Не бой се, миличка. Ние сме от хората, които оцеляват при всякакви положения. Какво ли не ни е идвало до главата: болести, войни, атентати... Ако ни чака мир, ще преживеем и него!”
― Etgar Keret, The Seven Good Years

“You tried to change didn’t you?
closed your mouth more
tried to be softer
prettier
less volatile, less awake
but even when sleeping you could feel
him travelling away from you in his dreams
so what did you want to do love
split his head open?
you can’t make homes out of human beings
someone should have already told you that
and if he wants to leave
then let him leave
you are terrifying
and strange and beautiful
something not everyone knows how to love.”
― Warsan Shire

― Sally Rooney, Beautiful World, Where Are You

“I thought it would be the same as everything else in my life – difficult and sad – because I was a difficult and sad person. But that’s not what I am anymore, if I ever was. And life is more changeable than I thought. I mean a life can be miserable for a long time and then later happy. It’s not just one thing or another – it doesn’t get fixed into a groove called ‘personality’ and then run along that way until the end.”
― Sally Rooney, Beautiful World, Where Are You

“Did he finally decide that life was too short to be miserable forty hours a week?”
― Sarah Penner, The Lost Apothecary

“It felt as though the universe, in her strange and nonsensical way, meant to reach out to me, to remind me of the enthusiasm I once had”
― Sarah Penner, The Lost Apothecary
