Jennifer Niven
“The great thing about this life of ours is that you can be someone different to everybody.”
Jennifer Niven, All the Bright Places

Lena Dunham
“I have been envious of male characteristics, if not the men themselves. I'm jealous of the ease with which they seem to inhabit their professional pursuits: the lack of apologizing, of bending over backward to make sure the people around them are comfortable with what they're trying to do. The fact that they are so often free of the people-pleasing instincts I have considered to be a curse of my female existence.”
Lena Dunham, Not That Kind of Girl: A Young Woman Tells You What She's "Learned"

Ken Grimwood
“All life includes loss. It's taken me many, many years to learn to deal with that, and I don't expect I'll ever be fully resigned to it. But that doesn't mean we have to turn away from the world, or stop striving for the best that we can do and be. We owe that much to ourselves, at least, and we deserve whatever measure of good may come of it.”
Ken Grimwood, Replay

Lena Dunham
“When someone shows you how little you mean to them and you keep coming back for more, before you know it you start to mean less to yourself. You are not made up of compartments! You are one whole person! What gets said to you gets said to all of you, ditto what gets done. Being treated like shit is not an amusing game or a transgressive intellectual experiment. It’s something you accept, condone, and learn to believe you deserve. This is so simple. But I tried so hard to make it complicated.”
Lena Dunham, Not That Kind of Girl: A young woman tells you what she's "learned"

Nicola Yoon
“Everything's a risk. Not doing anything is a risk. It's up to you.”
Nicola Yoon, Everything, Everything
