“There was nothing I hated worse than clumps of whispering girls who got quiet when I passed. I started picking scabs off my body and, when I didn't have any, gnawing the flesh around my fingernails until I was a bleeding wreck.

― Sue Monk Kidd, The Secret Life of Bees

“Genius is nothing but a greater aptitude for patience.”
