Anne Carson
“The poached egg on your plate at breakfast is not dirt. The poached egg on page 202 of the Greek lexicon in the library of the British Museum is dirt.”
Anne Carson, Norma Jeane Baker of Troy

“Being a young girl is always a cute trick. It leaves nothing to be desired and it is easy. I feel as though becoming a woman is like a long tradition of going through things and coming out strong, but I am tired and weary!”
Marlowe Granados, Happy Hour

“The seeds of love have taken hold and if we won't burn together I'll burn alone.”
Bret Easton Ellis, The Rules of Attraction

Elif Batuman
“It felt ominous to me - the aestheticized girliness, infatuation and weakness.”
Elif Batuman, The Idiot

Simone de Beauvoir
“The centre of the world is no longer where she is but where her beloved is; all roads leave from and lead to his house. She uses his words and repeats his gestures, adopts his maniacs and tics. 'I am Heathcliff,' says Catherine in Wuthering Heights; this is the cry of all women in love; she is another incarnation of the beloved, his reflection, his double: she is he. She lets her own world flounder in contingence. She lives in his universe.”
Simone de Beauvoir, The Second Sex
