BOOK STARTERS VOL.40 DARK PLACES GILLIAN FLYNN
- ❛ I was not a lovable child, and I’ve grown into a deeply unlovable adult. ❜

- ❛ I have a meanness inside me, real as an organ. Slit me at my belly and it might slide out, meaty and dark. ❜
- ❛ I am not angry or sad or happy to see you. I could not give a shit. You don’t even ripple. ❜
- ❛ I was raised feral, and I mostly stayed that way. ❜
- ❛ I can feel a better version of me somewhere in there - hidden behind a liver or attached to a bit of spleen. But the meanness usually wins out. ❜
- ❛ I felt something loosen in me, that shouldn’t have loosened. A stitch come undone. ❜
- ❛ Everyone who keeps a secret, itches to tell it. ❜
- ❛ Coffee goes great with sudden death. ❜

- ❛ I know what you’re doing. You think you can blink those pretty little eyes and I’ll melt. ❜
- ❛ It is far better to be feared than loved. ❜
- ❛ Have you gone mad? I’m afraid so. You’re entirely bonkers. But I’ll tell you a secret. All the best people are. ❜
- ❛ What a regrettably large head you have. ❜
- ❛ All this talk of blood and slaying has put me off my tea. ❜
- ❛ You used to be much more…“muchier.” You’ve lost your muchness. ❜
- ❛ This is my life. I’ll decide what to do with it. ❜
- ❛ Be good to her. I’ll be watching very closely. ❜

- ❛ This is impossible only if you believe it is. ❜
BOOK STARTERS VOL.39 GIRL, INTERRUPTED SUSANNA KAYSEN
- ❛ Survival is a talent. ❜
- ❛ Crazy isn’t being broken or swallowing a dark secret. It’s you or me amplified. If you ever told a lie and enjoyed it. If you ever wished you could be a child forever. ❜
- ❛ Who has the courage to burn themselves? ❜
- ❛ Is insanity just a matter of dropping the act? ❜
- ❛ Have you ever confused a dream with life? Or stolen something when you have the cash? Have you ever been blue? Or thought your train moving while sitting still? ❜
- ❛ You need to be well fed, clothed, and housed to have time for this much self-pity. ❜
- ❛ When I am supposed to be awake, I am asleep; when I am supposed to speak, I am silent. When a pleasure offers itself to me, I avoid it. ❜
- ❛ There is thought, and then there is thinking about thoughts, and they don’t feel the same. ❜
- ❛ In a strange way we are free. We’ve reached the end of the line. We have nothing more to lose. ❜
- ❛ The world won’t stop because we aren’t in it anymore. ❜
- ❛ I can’t answer the real question. All I can tell you is, it’s easy. ❜
- ❛ I am lighter, airier than I’ve been in years. ❜
- ❛ I am not dead, yet something in me definitely is. ❜
- ❛ You meant that as an insult but I am taking it as a compliment. ❜
- ❛ What life can recover from that? ❜
- ❛ It’s a fairly accurate portrait of me. It’s accurate but it isn’t profound. ❜
- ❛ Pull yourself together! There’s nothing wrong with you. ❜
- ❛ It’s quiet. It’s like― I don’t know. It’s like falling off a cliff. ❜
- ❛ Once you start parsing a face, it’s a peculiar item: squishy, pointy, with lots of air vents and wet spots. ❜
- ❛ I lost him. I did it on purpose. ❜
- ❛ It’s a mean world. There’s nobody to take care of you out there. ❜
- ❛ Reality is getting too dense. ❜
- ❛ I’m ambivalent. In fact that’s my new favourite word. ❜
- ❛ I can’t come up with reassuring answers to the terrible questions you raise. ❜
- ❛ A spring day, the sort that gives people hope: all soft winds and delicate smells of warm earth. Suicide weather. ❜
- ❛ Twenty-five chocolate chip cookies would be the perfect dinner. ❜
- ❛ A thought is a hard thing to control. ❜
- ❛ Life demands skills I don’t have. ❜
- ❛ Light like this does not exist, but we wish it did. We wish the sun could make us young and beautiful. Most of all, we wish that everyone we knew could be brightened simply by our looking at them. ❜
- ❛ It never stops, even at night, it’s my lullaby. ❜
BOOK STARTERS VOL.38 CAT’S EYE MARGARET ATWOOD
- ❛ Love blurs your vision; but after it recedes, you can see more clearly than ever. ❜
- ❛ This is the kind of thing you see if you sit in the darkness with open eyes. ❜
- ❛ I have done something wrong, something so huge I can’t even see it, something that’s drowning me. ❜
- ❛ Whatever is happening to me is my own fault. ❜
- ❛ Hatred is easier. Hatred is clear, metallic, one-handed, unwavering; unlike love. ❜
- ❛ Potential has a shelf life. ❜
- ❛ Don’t move. Stay like that, let me have that. ❜
- ❛ I have come to the edge, of the land. I could get pushed over. ❜
- ❛ Never pray for justice, because you might get some. ❜
- ❛ It disturbs me to learn I have hurt someone unintentionally. I want all my hurts to be intentional. ❜
- ❛ We have been shark to one another, but also lifeboat. That counts for something. ❜
- ❛ This is what I miss, not something that’s gone, but something that will never happen. ❜
- ❛ I am not good. I know too much to be good. I know myself. I know myself to be vengeful, greedy, secretive and sly. ❜
- ❛ You are amazing. Amazing and agonising and almost lethal. ❜
- ❛ In my dreams of this city I am always lost. ❜
- ❛ I don’t know where these feelings have come from, I don’t know what I’ve done. ❜
- ❛ I am not the centre of your story, you are. ❜
- ❛ I’m mad because you’re an asshole. ❜
- ❛ It’s enormously pleasing to me, walking away. It’s like being able to make people appear and vanish, at will. ❜
- ❛ There is never only one of anyone. ❜
- ❛ I can’t do this without feeling I’m acting. ❜
- ❛ I am prepared for almost anything; except absence, except silence. ❜
- ❛ I’m losing my appetite for strangers. ❜
- ❛ You wear your cravings on the outside, like the suckers on a squid. You want it all. ❜
- ❛ Knowing too much about other people weakens you. You are forced to understand their reasons for doing things. ❜
- ❛ I have lost confidence: perhaps all I will ever be is what I am now. ❜
- ❛ Echoes of light, shining out of the midst of nothing. It’s old light, and there’s not much of it. But it’s enough to see by. ❜
- ❛ Whoever cares the most will lose. ❜
- ❛ Young women need unfairness, it’s one of their few defences. ❜
- ❛ Time has gone on without you. ❜
