“I am so glad and grateful, I am. But sometimes the orchestra plays something in swelling chords of luck and joy, and all I can hear is that one violin sawing out a thin melody of grief”
― Catherine Newman, Catastrophic Happiness: Finding Joy in Childhood's Messy Years

“Poor happy endings. They're so aggressively misunderstood. We act like "and they lived happily ever after" is trying to con us into thinking that nothing bad ever happened to anyone ever again. But that's never the way I read those words. I read them as "and they built a life together and looked after each other and made the absolute best of their lives.”
― Katherine Center, The Rom-Commers

“The only way to learn is to live.”
― Matt Haig, The Midnight Library

“You're entirely bonkers. But I'll tell you a secret: All the best people are.”
― Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland
