“On certain social occasions, otherwise dignified and serious men will begin behaving unconsciously like players on a stage, performing as they talk, acting as they gesticulate. The cause is invariably a woman.”
― Jed Rubenfeld, The Interpretation of Murder

“Dishonesty in a woman is a thing you never blame deeply.”
― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

“The ways of happiness and meaning are not the same. To find happiness, a man need only live in the moment; he need only live for the moment. But if he wants meaning—the meaning of his dreams, his secrets, his life—a man must reinhabit his past, however dark, and live for the future, however uncertain. Thus nature dangles happiness and meaning before us all, insisting only that we choose between them.”
― Jed Rubenfeld, The Interpretation of Murder

“Most affectations conceal something eventually, even though they don't in the beginning.”
― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby
