― James Baldwin, Giovanni’s Room

“We accept the love we think we deserve.”
― Stephen Chbosky, The Perks of Being a Wallflower

“To define is to limit.”
― Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

“And I realized that I’d tolerated him this long because of self-doubt.”
― Anne Rice, Interview with the Vampire
