Helen Fielding
“I am not interested in emotional fuckwittage.”
Helen Fielding, Bridget Jones’s Diary

Matthew Quick
“When life reaches out with a moment like this, it's a sin if you don't reach back.”
Matthew Quick, The Silver Linings Playbook

Matthew Quick
“So I’m thinking this is the part of my movie where things appear as if nothing is going to work
out. I have to remind myself that all movie characters go through this sort of dark period before
they find their happy ending.”
Matthew Quick, The Silver Linings Playbook

Matthew Quick
“When I read the actual story-how Gatsby loves Daisy so much but can't ever be with her no matter how hard he tries-I feel like ripping the book in half and calling up Fitzgerald and telling him his book is all wrong, even though I know Fitzgerald is probably deceased. Especially when Gatsby is shot dead in his swimming pool the first time he goes for a swim all summer, Daisy doesn't even go to his funeral, Nick and Jordan part ways, and Daisy ends up sticking with racist Tom, whose need for sex basically murders an innocent woman, you can tell Fitzgerald never took the time to look up at clouds during sunset, because there's no silver lining at the end of that book, let me tell you.”
Matthew Quick, The Silver Linings Playbook

Gustave Flaubert
“I detest common heroes and moderate feelings, the sort that exist in real life”
Gustave Flaubert, Madame Bovary
