“We'd had some sort of sex, sex of the mind, sex of ideas, sex of words, hundreds of thousands of words.”
― Lily King, Euphoria

“It was only a button. It was only a bit of thread. From a wrinkled blue dress I had once undone.”

“Funny how when you have a purpose the misery goes and hides.”

“Nearly every guy I've dated believed they should already be famous, believed that greatness was their destiny and they were already behind schedule. An early moment of intimacy often involved a confession of this sort: a childhood vision, teacher's prophecy, a genius IQ. At first, with my boyfriend in college, I believed it, too. Later, I thought I was just choosing delusional men. Now I understand it's how boys are raised to think, how they are lured into adulthood. I've met ambitious women, driven women, but no woman has ever told me that greatness was her destiny.”
