Romain Gary
“I always had a strong reluctance to hurt people, which is always the best way of hurting oneself.”
Romain Gary, Promise at Dawn

Daphne du Maurier
“But luxury has never appealed to me, I like simple things, books, being alone, or with somebody who understands.”
Daphne du Maurier

Betty Friedan
“When she stopped conforming to the conventional picture of femininity, she finally began to enjoy being a woman.”
Betty Friedan, The Feminine Mystique

Grace Lin

Grace Lin, Where the Mountain Meets the Moon

Betty Friedan
“The only way for a woman, as for a man, to find herself, to know herself as a person, is by creative work of her own.”
Betty Friedan, The Feminine Mystique
