“I am not going to sit around sweating my ass off just so men can feel more comfortable. It’s not my responsibility to not turn them on. It’s their responsibility to not be an asshole.”
― Taylor Jenkins Reid, Daisy Jones & The Six

“We love each other because we can't help it. We don't work at it and we don't sacrifice for it. It is easy and all the sweeter to me because it is so undeserved. I discover within a second context that when something just won't work, moving heaven and earth often won't make it work -- and similarly, there are some things that you just can't screw up. I know that I could live without him: I have my own work, my own mission, and my own money. But I don't want to. I really don't want to. We make plans: he will share his strength with me and I will share my imagination with him...”

“It takes a long time to turn into what you're supposed to be.”

“Put your hand on your heart,'
the old man said.
'Inside you, there is a power,
there are ideas,
thought that no one has ever thought of,
there is the strength to love,
purely and intensely,
and to have someone love you back -
there is the power to make people happy,
and to make people laugh -
it's full compliments,
and the power to change lives and futures.
Don't forget that power,
and don't ever give up on it.”
― Atticus Poetry
