“In principle and reality, libraries are life-enhancing palaces of wonder.”
Gail Honeyman, Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine

Gail Honeyman
“If someone asks you how you are, you are meant to say FINE. You are not meant to say that you cried yourself to sleep last night because you hadn't spoken to another person for two consecutive days. FINE is what you say.”
Gail Honeyman, Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine

Celeste Ng
“Sometimes you need to scorch everything to the ground, and start over. After the burning the soil is richer, and new things can grow. People are like that, too. They start over. They find a way.”
Celeste Ng, Little Fires Everywhere

Gail Honeyman
“In the end, what matters is this: I survived.”
Gail Honeyman, Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine

Gail Honeyman
“There are days when I feel so lightly connected to the earth that the threads that tether me to the planet are gossamer thin, spun sugar. A strong gust of wind could dislodge me completely, and I’d lift off and blow away, like one of those seeds in a dandelion clock. The threads tighten slightly from Monday to Friday.”
Gail Honeyman, Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine
