“we all have stories we tell ourselves. We tell ourselves we are too fat, too ugly, or too old, or too foolish. We tell ourselves these stories because they allow us to excuse our actions, and they allow us to pass off the responsibility for things we have done-maybe to something within our control, but anything other than the decisions we have made.”
― Eleanor Brown, The Weird Sisters

“We were still at the age when girls are years older than guy, and the guys grow up by doing their best when the girls need them to.”
― Tana French, Faithful Place
