And I will taste no other wine tonight.”

“I am awfully greedy; I want everything from life. I want to be a woman and to be a man, to have many friends and to have loneliness, to work much and write good books, to travel and enjoy myself, to be selfish and to be unselfish… You see, it is difficult to get all which I want. And then when I do not succeed I get mad with anger.”
― Simone de Beauvoir

“And the rest is rust and stardust.”
― Vladimir Nabokov, Lolita

“Deadlines just aren't real to me until I'm staring one in the face.”
― Rick Riordan, The Lightning Thief
