Nicole Y. Dennis-Benn
“Nobody love a black girl. Not even herself”
Nicole Dennis-Benn, Here Comes the Sun

Cheryl Strayed
“The thing about hiking the Pacific Crest Trail, the thing that was so profound to me that summer—and yet also, like most things, so very simple—was how few choices I had and how often I had to do the thing I least wanted to do. How there was no escape or denial. No numbing it down with a martini or covering it up with a roll in the hay. As I clung to the chaparral that day, attempting to patch up my bleeding finger, terrified by every sound that the bull was coming back, I considered my options. There were only two and they were essentially the same. I could go back in the direction I had come from, or I could go forward in the direction I intended to go.”
Cheryl Strayed, Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail

Taffy Brodesser-Akner
“A wife isn’t like an ultra-girlfriend or a permanent girlfriend. She’s an entirely new thing. She’s something you made together, with you as an ingredient. She couldn’t be the wife without you.”
Taffy Brodesser-Akner, Fleishman Is in Trouble

Haruki Murakami
“Life is so uncertain: you never know what could happen. One way to deal with that is to keep your pajamas washed.”
Haruki Murakami, 1Q84

John Boyne
“What you know about women,” replied Maude, “could be written in large font on the back of a postage stamp and there’d still be room for the Lord’s Prayer.”
John Boyne, The Heart's Invisible Furies
