“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

“i read on nonetheless, partly out of duty, partly out of habit.”
― Haruki Murakami, First Person Singular: Stories

“I am the force of creation, I am
the end and the beginning. The world is a painting and I hold the brush. I
am a god.”
― R.F. Kuang, The Burning God

“Cubitum eamus?"
"What?"
"Nothing.”
― Donna Tartt, The Secret History
