“Never mistake maintenance for care, attention for love, or even love for empathy.”
― Lena Dunham, Famesick

“I understood now that trying to understand why two people fall out of love is a bit like studying a place that existed before photographs, pre–printing press, a time that is kept alive only by the stone foundations of burnt cottages and buried barrels of mead found by determined archaeologists or lucky farmers. We may have the evidence—the daily messages exchanged between former partners (“baby cakes, do you like these curtains or do they make you think of Vegas?”), the iPhone images of early courtship (hands entwined on the plane to a new city), and the devolution (absent-eyed in New Year’s hats that read 2017 in hopeful glitter). But we can never be the people who occupied that place.”
― Lena Dunham, Famesick

“These girls are overeducated and underemployed”
― Lena Dunham, Famesick

“Our whole culture values the potential of life more than the existence of it, and women as vessels for that life more than as sentient beings.”
― Lena Dunham, Famesick
