Elizabeth Strout
“Because in February the days were really getting longer and you could see it, if you really looked. You could see how at the end of each day the world seemed cracked open and the extra light made its way across the stark trees, and promised. It promised, that light, and what a thing that was.”
Elizabeth Strout, Olive, Again

Rebecca Makkai
“If we could just be on earth at the same place and same time as everyone we loved, if we could be born together and die together, it would be so simple. And it’s not. But listen: You two are on the planet at the same time. You’re in the same place now. That’s a miracle. I just want to say that.”
Rebecca Makkai, The Great Believers

“Everyone dies, and yet it’s unendurable. There is so much love inside of us. How do we become worthy of it? And, then, where does it go? A worldwide crescendo of grief, sustained day after day, and only one tiny note of it is mine.”
Catherine Newman, We All Want Impossible Things

Lorraine Hansberry
“How we gets to the place where we scared to talk softness to each other.”
Lorraine Hansberry, A Raisin in the Sun

Dolly Alderton
“It may seem that life is difficult at times but it’s really as simple as breathing in and out,” she read. “Rip open hearts with your fury and tear down egos with your modesty. Be the person you wish you could be, not the person you feel you are doomed to be. Let yourself run away with your feelings. You were made so that someone could love you. Let them love you.”
Dolly Alderton, Everything I Know About Love: A Memoir
