“Don’t be scared of your hunger. If you’re scared of your hunger, you’ll just be one more ninny like everyone else.”
– “Olive Kitteridge,” Elizabeth Strout
“And so, if this man next to her now was not a man she would have chosen before this time, what did it matter? He most likely wouldn’t have picked her either.

“The Fire Shut Up In My Bones,” Charles Blow
