"i’ve had to put this down for a bit because r f kuang misunderstanding schrödinger’s cat annoyed me on such a visceral level!! she uses it as an example of classical logic!!! ‘the cat must be dead or alive it can’t be both’. THE WHOLE POINT IS ABOUT UNDERSTANDING SIMULTANEITY. THE CAT IS LITERALLY SIMULTANEOUSLY DEAD AND ALIVE. THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT SHE SAYS. AGHHHHHHHHH" Feb 20, 2026 05:59AM

Philippe Besson
“The question that imposed itself: Why me?
The image doesn't fit: my thick glasses, my stretched-out blue Nordic sweater, the student head slaps, the too-good grades, the feminine gestures. Why me?
He says: Because you are not like all the others, because I don't see anyone but you and you don't even realize it.”
Philippe Besson, « Arrête avec tes mensonges »

Stephen Chbosky
“I know these will all be stories some day, and our pictures will become old photographs. We all become somebody’s mom or dad. But right now, these moments are not stories. This is happening. I can see it. This one moment when you know you’re not a sad story. You are alive. And you stand up and see the lights on the buildings and everything that makes you wonder. And you’re listening to that song, and that drive with the people who you love most in this world. And in this moment, I swear, we are infinite.”
Stephen Chbosky, The Perks Of Being A Wallflower

Donna Tartt
“Does such a thing as 'the fatal flaw,' that showy dark crack running down the middle of a life, exist outside literature? I used to think it didn't. Now I think it does. And I think that mine is this: a morbid longing for the picturesque at all costs.”
Donna Tartt, The Secret History

Donna Tartt
“One likes to think there's something in it, that old platitude amor vincit omnia. But if I've learned one thing in my short sad life, it is that that particular platitude is a lie. Love doesn't conquer everything. And whoever thinks it does is a fool.”
Donna Tartt, The Secret History

Kait Rokowski
“Nothing ever ends poetically. It ends and we turn it into poetry. All that blood was never once beautiful. It was just red.”
Kait Rokowski
