Book cover for Mistborn: The Final Empire (Mistborn, #1)
“Everything costs money,” Ham said. “But what is money? A physical representation of the abstract concept of effort.

Elena Ferrante
“Every intense relationship between human beings is full of traps, and if you want it to endure you have to learn to avoid them.”
Elena Ferrante, The Story of the Lost Child

Elena Ferrante
“She possessed intelligence and didn't put it to use but, rather, wasted it, like a great lady for whom all the riches of the world are merely a sign of vulgarity. That was the fact that must have beguiled Nino: the gratuitousness of Lila's intelligence.”
Elena Ferrante, The Story of the Lost Child

Elena Ferrante
“...maybe, in the face of abandonment, we are all the same; maybe not even a very orderly mind can endure the discovery of not being loved.”
Elena Ferrante, Those Who Leave and Those Who Stay

Elena Ferrante
“The waste of intelligence. A community that finds it natural to suffocate with the care of home and children so many women’s intellectual energies is its own enemy and doesn’t realize it.” I waited in silence”
Elena Ferrante, Those Who Leave and Those Who Stay

Elena Ferrante
“Lila was able to speak through writing; unlike me when I wrote, unlike Sarratore in his articles and poems, unlike even many writers I had read and was reading, she expressed herself in sentences that were well constructed, and without error, even though she had stopped going to school, but–further–she left no trace of effort, you weren't aware of the artifice of the written word. I read and I saw her, I heard her. The voice set in the writing overwhelmed me, enthralled me even more than when we talked face to face; it was completely cleansed of the dross of speech, of the confusion of the oral; it had the vivid orderliness that I imagined would belong to conversation if one were so fortunate as to be born from the head of Zeus and not from the Grecos, the Cerullos.”
Elena Ferrante, My Brilliant Friend
