“This is what makes us girls. We all look for heaven and we put love first. Somethin' that we'd die for, it's our curse. Don't cry about it.”
― Fydor Dostoevsky

“You do not fear. You do not falter. You do not yield. You go in, you get her, and you come out again.”
― Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Wings and Ruin

“Once when I visited Buddy I found Mrs. Willard braiding a rug out of strips of wool from Mr. Willard’s old suits. She’d spent weeks on that rug, and I had admired the tweedy browns and greens and blues patterning the braid, but after Mrs. Willard was through, instead of hanging the rug on the wall the way I would have done, she put it down in place of her kitchen mat, and in a few days it was soiled and dull and indistinguishable from any mat you could buy for under a dollar in the five and ten.
                And I knew that in spite of all the roses and kisses and restaurant dinners a man showered on a woman before he married her, what he secretly wanted when the wedding service ended was for her to flatten out underneath his feet like Mrs. Willard’s kitchen mat.”
― Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar
