    Jane Austen
    “I have faults enough, but they are not, I hope, of understanding. My temper I dare not vouch for. It is, I believe, too little yielding— certainly too little for the convenience of the world.

My temper would perhaps be called resentful. My good opinion once lost, is lost forever.”
    Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

    Chuck Palahniuk
    “Fuck me. I'm so tired of being me. Me beautiful. Me ugly. Blonde. Brunette. A million fucking fashion makeovers that only leave me trapped being me.
    Who I was before the accident is just a story now. Everything before now, before now, before now, is just a story I carry around. I guess that would apply to anybody in the world. What I need is a new story about who I am.
    What I need to do is fuck up so bad I can't save myself.”
    Chuck Palahniuk, Invisible Monsters

He imagined he could see the very faces of the stars; pale, they were, and smiling gently, as if they had spent so much time above the world, watching the scrambling and the joy and the pain of the people below them, that they could not help being amused every time another little human believed itself the center of its world, as each of us does.”
    Neil Gaiman, Stardust
