Chastity Cantillo

“Everyone sees what you appear to be, few experience what you really are.”
― Niccolò Machiavelli, The Prince

“It's at moments like these in a game that the essentials of his character are exposed: narrow, ineffectual, stupid—and morally so. The game becomes an extended metaphor of character defect. Every error he makes is so profoundly, so irritatingly typical of himself, instantly familiar, like a signature, like a tissue scar or some deformation in a private place.”
― Ian McEwan, Saturday

“It seems like the rebellions never stop, in the city, in the compound, anywhere. There are just breaths between them, and foolishly, we call those breaths “peace".”
― Veronica Roth, Allegiant

“The monologue is her form of revenge. FLAUBERT”
― Simone de Beauvoir, The Woman Destroyed
