“Relationships never provide you with everything. They provide you with some things. You take all you want from a person - sexual chemistry, let's say, or good conversation, or financial support, or intellectual compatibility, or niceness, or loyalty - and you get to pick three of them.”
― Hanya Yanagihara, A Little Life

“I am constantly overestimating and underestimating the human race - that rarely do I ever simply estimate it.”
― Markus Zusak, The Book Thief

“You’re a human, you should understand self-obsession.”

“Watching people is a good hobby, but you have to be careful about it. You can’t let people catch you staring at them. If people catch you, they treat you like a first-class criminal.

― Carol Rifka Brunt, Tell the Wolves I'm Home
