Quotes by Meg Mason  (?)

“Everything is broken and messed up and completely fine. That is what life is. It's only the ratios that change. usually on their own.”
Meg Mason, Sorrow and Bliss

“I have been unbearable but I have never been unloved. I have felt alone but I have never been alone and I've been forgiven for the unforgiveable things I have done.”
Meg Mason, Sorrow and Bliss

“I'm the worst person in the world"
"No, you're not." Patrick's hand came down in a fist and he hit the arm of the sofa. "You're not the best person in the world either, which is what you really think. You're the same as everybody else. But that's harder for you, isn't it. You'd rather be one or the other. The idea that you might be ordinary is unbearable.”
Meg Mason, Sorrow and Bliss
