Quote of the Day (Sally Rooney, on Life’s ‘Moments of Joy Despite Everything’)


“Still, Connell went home that night and read over some notes he had been making for a new story, and he felt the old beat of pleasure in his body, like watching a perfect goal, like the rustling movement of light through leaves, a phrase of music from the window of a passing car. Life offers up these moments of joy despite everything.”— Irish novelist Sally Rooney, Normal People (2019)
