“Elle faisait confiance 脿 la vie pour lui envoyer des indices, des id茅es, des d茅tails qu'elle convertirait en histoires. C'est comme 莽a qu'elle avait 茅crit son premier livre. En ouvrant grand les yeux sur le monde. En 茅coutant, en observant, en reniflant.
C'est comme 莽a aussi qu'on ne vieillit pas. On vieillit quand on s'enferme, on refuse de voir, d'entendre ou de respirer. La vie et l鈥櫭ヽriture, 莽a va souvent ensemble.”
― Katherine Pancol, La valse lente des tortues

“I think if I've learned anything about friendship, it's to hang in, stay connected, fight for them, and let them fight for you.

“It is not easy to be the citizen of a Superpower, nor is it getting easier. I would feel isolated with my shame if I were not sure that I belong, among millions of Americans, to a perennial minority of the nation. The obstinate bleeding hearts who will never agree that might makes right and know if the end justifies the means, the end is worthless. Power corrupts, an old truism but why does it also make the powerful so stupid? Their power schemes become unstuck in time, at cruel cost to other; then the powerful put their stupid important heads together and invent the next similar schemes [written 1987].”

“You鈥檒l learn, as you get older, that rules are made to be broken. Be bold enough to live life on your terms, and never, ever apologize for it. Go against the grain, refuse to conform, take the road less traveled instead of the well-beaten path. Laugh in the face of adversity, and leap before you look. Dance as though EVERYBODY is watching. March to the beat of your own drummer. And stubbornly refuse to fit in.”
― Mandy Hale, The Single Woman鈥揕ife, Love, and a Dash of Sass: Embracing Singleness with Confidence
