Phoebe Waller-Bridge
“Being proper and sweet and nice and pleasing is a fucking nightmare. It’s exhausting. As women, we get the message about how to be a good girl – how to be a good, pretty girl – from such an early age. Then, at the same time, we’re told that well-behaved girls won’t change the world or ever make a splash. So it’s sort of like, well, what the fuck am I supposed to be? I’m supposed to be a really polite revolutionary?” Phoebe Waller-Bridge spreads her arms and starts to laugh. “It’s impossible.”
Phoebe Waller-Bridge

J.D. Salinger
“I knew it wasn't too important, but it made me sad anyway.”
J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye

Arthur Conan Doyle
“It's quite exciting," said Sherlock Holmes, with a yawn.”
Arthur Conan Doyle, A Study in Scarlet, A Study in Scarlet

Arthur Conan Doyle
“His Ignorance was as remarkable as his knowledge.”
Arthur Conan Doyle, A Study in Scarlet

Helen Macdonald
“You see that life will become a thing made of holes. Absences. Losses. Things that were there and are no longer. And you realise, too, that you have to grow around and between the gaps, though you can put your hand out to where things were and feel that tense, shining dullness of the space where the memories are.”
Helen Macdonald, H is for Hawk
