"We sometimes encounter people, even perfect strangers, who begin to interest us at first sight, somehow suddenly, all at once, before a word has been spoken."

Fyodor Dostoyevsky

"The good times and the bad times both will pass. It will pass. It will get easier. But the fact that it will get easier does not mean that it doesn’t hurt now. And when people try to minimize your pain they are doing you a disservice. And when you try to minimize your own pain you’re doing yourself a disservice. Don’t do that. The truth is that it hurts because it’s real. It hurts because it mattered. And that’s an important thing to acknowledge to yourself. But that doesn’t mean that it won’t end, that it won’t get better. Because it will."

"Time isn’t a straight line. It’s all…bumpy-wumpy. There’s loads of boring stuff. Like Sundays and Tuesdays and Thursday afternoons. But now and then there are Saturdays. Big temporal tipping points when anything’s impossible."

"It is one of the defects of my character that I cannot altogether dislike anyone who makes me laugh."

"‎”I’m the kind of person who would rather get my hopes up really high and watch them get dashed to pieces than wisely keep my expectations at bay and hope they are exceeded. This quality has made me a needy and theatrical friend, but has given me a spectacularly dramatic emotional life."

- Mindy Kaling, Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?

I just finished Mindy’s book the other day. It’s a little predictable at times, but more often than not legitimately laugh-out-loud hilarious. But she also doesn’t pressure her self to make you laugh throughout. She tells stories of being bullied, of post-college floundering, of being kicked out of The Office writer’s room for being difficult, in an honest non-self-glorifying way. Her style of writing is very friendly and definitely suitable to more than just witty one-liners on television shows.
