― Matt Haig

“Change always comes with a closing cost. But it's still worth trying. Not because the odds are particularly good, mind you, but considering the alternative. There's value in the struggle. Value in touching the raw and bloody parts of our souls, opening them up to the sunlight, and hoping they heal.”
― Rosie Danan, The Roommate

“The second rule is: perfume lives in time; it has its youth, its maturity, and its old age. And only
if it gives off a scent equally pleasant at all three different stages of its life, can it be called successful”
― Patrick Süskind, Perfume: The Story of a Murderer

“The point is to break the fucking cycle. Women aren't rehab centers for emotionally stunted man-babies who think the key to a serious relationship is to just wait for the right woman to come along. You have to be ready to be uncomfortable, to stretch yourself, to be vulnerable.... One of the most insidious ways that toxic masculinity destroys men is that it strips us (men) of the ability to express our emotions and to connect, not just with women, but with other men. Because "real men" don't do that, right?”
― Lyssa Kay Adams, Crazy Stupid Bromance
