Alice

“Her eyes fill up with tears again and she closes them. Even in memory she will find this moment unbearably intense, and she's aware of this now, while it's happening. She has never believed herself fit to be loved by any person. But now she has a new life, of which this is the first moment, and even after many years have passed she will still think: Yes, that was it, the beginning of my life.”
― Sally Rooney, Normal People

“Living itself is the source of sin.”
― Osamu Dazai, No Longer Human

“Though we see the same world, we see it through different eyes.”
― Virginia Woolf, Three Guineas

“Most people go through their whole lives, without ever really feeling that close with anyone.”
