“I think photos should be a stolen moment in time. Not this thing on your phone: this way of constantly curating your life even while you’re experiencing it. Otherwise the likeability of our experiences when photographed—like, travels or social events or whatever—becomes the main metric by which our lives are valued. And that’s so arbitrary and depressing, don’t you think?”

― Diana Reid, Love & Virtue

“Generally I find men are a lot more concerned with limiting the freedoms of women than exercising personal freedom for themselves.”
― Sally Rooney, Normal People
