- "I don’t know why it surprises me that the world doesn’t stop just because I’m gone.” — I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter, Erika Sánchez
- "I love people. Everybody. I love them, I think, as a stamp collector loves his collection. Every story, every incident, every bit of conversation is raw material for me. My love's not impersonal yet not wholly subjective either. I would like to be everyone, a cripple, a dying man, a whore, and then come back to write about my thoughts, my emotions, as that person. But I am not omniscient. I have to live my life, and it is the only one I'll ever have. And you cannot regard your own life with objective curiosity all the time...” ― The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath, Sylvia Plath
- "Terror is the beginning of beauty." — I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter, Erika Sánchez

- "The trouble is that we have a bad habit, encouraged by pedants and sophisticates, of considering happiness as something rather stupid. Only pain is intellectual, only evil interesting." — The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas, Ursula K. Le Guin
- "Whenever you feel like criticizing anyone, he told me, just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages you've had." — The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald
