“If you want to be a grocer, or a general, or a politician, or a judge, you will invariably become it; that is your punishment. If you never know what you want to be, if you live what some might call the dynamic life but what I will call the artistic life, if each day you are unsure of who you are and what you know you will never become anything, and that is your reward.”
― Oscar Wilde

“Catriona sat quietly in her chair, her body tense. I don’t want to, she thought. I want to just not see people for a while; I want to roll up on a bed and read a romantic novel and not think.”

― Douglas Coupland, Life After God
