I’d moved away from everything I knew and loved at seventeen in spite of how scared I was. I wondered if I would still have it in me to do something I found so daunting. Aren’t you supposed to get more independent as you get older? Shouldn’t I be bolder, more self-sufficient?

— Anna Kendrick, amazon.com

Everything I perceive is a projection of who I am.

— Brianna Wiest, amazon.com

Trying to make sense of your life is trying to see if the old story checks out, if the person you once were would be happy with the life they lead today. You're looking for answers in people that don't exist.

— Brianna Wiest, amazon.com
