“But perhaps the enthusiastic sensibility of young women of her age also played a role. This feeling sought release at every opportunity, and with it Grete now felt tempted to want to make Gregor's situation even more terrifying, so that then she would be able to do even more for him than now.”

“There are people who see a beautiful flower and rush over to pick it. They want to hold it in their hands, they want to own it.

Don was happy to be near the flower, to look at the flower, to appreciate the flower simply being.”
― Taylor Jenkins Reid, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo
