“we consume so much, now, that perhaps we don't know what is means to exist as something unsellable. i had to give up journaling because i couldn't stop writing for the people who would read it after i was dead.”

“I am awfully greedy; I want everything from life. I want to be a woman and to be a man, to have many friends and to have loneliness, to work much and write good books, to travel and enjoy myself, to be selfish and to be unselfish… You see, it is difficult to get all which I want. And then when I do not succeed I get mad with anger.”
― Simone de Beauvoir
