“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

“So many books, so little time.”
― Frank Zappa

“A person learns how to love himself through the simple acts of loving and being loved by someone else.”

“If you can't understand it without an explanation, you can't understand it with an explanation.”
― Haruki Murakami, 1Q84
