“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

“History doesn't repeat itself, but it does rhyme.”
― Mark Twain

“Never suffer because you don't have an opinion on this or that topic. Never suffer because you are not something or because you are.”
― Clarice Lispector, Near to the Wild Heart
