― Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath

“A grown woman tasting a spoonful of Georgia's Mousse au Citron at a late afternoon lunch, then suddenly standing and announcing that she needed to reconcile with her estranged sister before it was too late. She'd hastened away, leaving her coat, one hundred euros to pay the bill, and the mostly uneaten mousse at the table. After devouring Georgia's beet and goat cheese tart one bitter winter evening, an American man with an engagement ring nestled on top of a slice of Georgia's cherry clafoutis looked across the table at his girlfriend and said later that he could suddenly see clearly that she was not the love of his life. He'd hastened back to the kitchen to remove the ring from the dessert where it was waiting to be served at the right moment. They left the restaurant with the ring in his pocket and his girlfriend in tears. There had been others. Many others, now that she thought of it. It had been a bit of a joke among the kitchen staff, that Georgia's dishes could cause more breakups and engagements and family feuds and reconciliations than the restaurant had ever seen. She'd never really put it all together before, but now that she thought of it...
"I think my cooking might give people clarity somehow," Georgia said in surprise.”

“¿Cómo pude haber sido tan ciego durante años? Ciego, sí, y lo sabía, y siempre dije que no tenía importancia. De modo que había ido a tientas por el mundo como un miope lascivo, dejando de ver los agujeros, los tajos, las lagrimas e hinchazones de los demás, así como las mías.”
― Ray Bradbury

“Make it all end
Make it all end
Make it all end

But then I realize
No, I don’t want ambiguity to end,
I merely want despondency
associated with it to end,

I want to seek that knowledge
I want to find those truths

I don’t want to resort to chance wheels
and dice just to make a choice
and clear away the ambiguity

I want to use my dedication,
My intelligence,
My ambition to make those discoveries”
― Lucy Carter, For the Intellect

“...the fight or flight response is a destructive constant companion. As Dr. Nadine Burke Harris put it, the response is great "If you're in a forest and there is a bear... When that happens, the Harvard researchers found, the sector of the brain that deals with highly stressful situations takes over. "Significant stress in early childhood, ' they write, "... result[s] in a hyperresponsive or chronically activated physiological stress response, along with increased potential for fear and anxiety" For kids like me, the part of the brain that deals with stress and conflict always activted- the switch flipped indefinitely. We are constantly ready to fight or flee, because there is constant exposure to the bear, whether that bear is an alcoholic dad or an unhinged mom. We become hard-wired for conflict. And that wiring remains, even when there's no more conflict to be had.”
― J.D. Vance, Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis

“Only now I can’t remember, damn it, where the lies ended and I began. It’s all blurred. Everything suddenly seems to have become so messy, so gray, so undefined and terrifying. All I know is that things went terribly awry, this wasn’t the plan. The plan was to get better, to feel better, by any means. But I don’t feel better, I feel empty, empty and broken, still. And alone. More alone than ever before.”
― Amber Smith, The Way I Used to Be

“Pored toga, prožela me je senzacija – promene. Neodređene, ali nezanemarljive, nepovratne i neverovatne, koja se dâ uporediti sa saznanjem da Zemlja nije ravna, niti da stoji u centru svemira. Neodređeno je, jer to ne osećamo neposredno, ali otkrili smo da smo statistička anomalija, a ne ovozemaljska stvorenja sa onozemaljskom svrhom. Posle toga povratka nema, a nekima je prilično teško da u to veruju, jer im jedan život, bez iluzija, ne može ugasiti žeđ.”
― Boban Trifunović, Jaganjci
