“You have to prove yourself over and over, and when the glory for your most recent achievement expires, as it must, as it always will, you have to start again, but with more eyes trained on you, more people waiting for the day your talent withers, and your discipline weakens, and your charm wears away. Success is only meant to be rented out, borrowed in small doses at a time, never to be owned completely, no matter what price you're willing to pay for it.”
― Ann Liang, I Am Not Jessica Chen

“The strongest person is the person who isn’t scared to be alone.”
― Walter Tevis, The Queen's Gambit

“It's cruel, really, how the world tends to present its most beautiful parts to you when you're so profoundly sad.”
― Ann Liang, I Am Not Jessica Chen
