“I've always loved strong women, which is lucky for me because once you're over about twenty-five there is no other kind. Women blow my mind. The stuff that routinely gets done to them would make most men curl up and die, but women turn to steel and keep on coming. Any man who claims he's not into strong women is fooling himself mindless; he's into strong women who know how to pout prettily and put on baby voices, and who will end up keeping his balls in her makeup bags.”
― Tana French, Faithful Place

“Stories aren’t the beauty of what did happen. They’re the beauty of what could happen.”

“I'm going to smile, and my smile will sink down into your pupils, and heaven knows what it will become.”
