This Is Not a Pity Memoir Quotes

“When the gods look down and fuck up your world, when the map you have laid out for your life has been ripped out of your hands, you are left somehow impotent and abandoned. And with the knowledge that the nature of your mortality is not a given. That life is a process of cause and effect, and however much you might side-step the cracks, stay away from the edge, keep on walking past the open windows, no one can prepare you for the utter shock of the backflip, the left-field pitch, the curveball, that knocks all that you are, all that you have known, for shit. If it’s coming for you, it’s coming for you. No point trying to hide from it.”
― Abi Morgan, This Is Not a Pity Memoir

“that there are no such things as pity memoirs, only words on pages and if they mean something to someone, they are worth being said.”

“I am overwhelmed with gratitude. I know that none of this is a given. None of this life is guaranteed. Now I want every last second of it to mean something. Even when it doesn’t. Even the boring bits.”
― Abi Morgan, This Is Not a Pity Memoir
