“You keep asking why your work is not enough, and I don’t know how to answer that, because it is enough to exist in the world and marvel at it. You don’t need to justify that, or earn it. You are allowed to just live.”
― Becky Chambers, A Psalm for the Wild-Built

“Grown-ups don't look like grown-ups on the inside either. Outside, they're big and thoughtless and they always know what they're doing. Inside, they look just like they always have. Like they did when they were your age. Truth is, there aren't any grown-ups. Not one, in the whole wide world.”
― Neil Gaiman, The Ocean at the End of the Lane

“was always a strange thing, coming home. Coming home meant that you had, at one point, left it and, in doing so, irreversibly changed. How odd, then, to be able to return to a place that would always be anchored in your notion of the past. How could this place still be there, if the you that once lived there no longer existed?”
― Becky Chambers, A Prayer for the Crown-Shy

“− Vous étiez heureux ?
La réponse que je devrais donner, je ne me suis jamais laissée le droit de la formuler.
J’étais heureuse, oui.
Le temps que ça a duré, j’étais ravie.
Je ne savais pas ce qu’était le bonheur, alors je n’avais aucun moyen de savoir que le mien n’en était pas un.
Mais ça, j’ignore comment le dire.
Je finis par murmurer :
− J’y croyais”
