“Well, how would you know you were happy if you were never sad?”
― Barbara O'Neal, The Starfish Sisters

“My mother once posited that we are not rational beings. We read about all the looming threats in the paper, we watch it on the news, and then we get on with our day. And, yes, some of that is thanks to our ability to hide from reality with denial, with cognitive dissonance, with magical thinking. But she forgot the most important thing: In the absence of compassion, selfishness is the most rational response of all. Our species’ superpower is not caring. We merely exercised that ability.”
― Blake Crouch, Upgrade

“But you’re not a nobody. Life isn’t a book. It often lacks logic or resolution, and it’s quite boring most of the time. We all have our stories, with all the little good and bad decisions.”
― Nadine Steiner-Schütz, Being Badger: A Coming Of Age Story

“You see, reading books is not about finding symbols and themes – it’s about what they can do for your life, what you take from them, what sticks out. You should close it after the last page and feel like you gained something. Something you can use for your own life. Do you understand what I mean?”
