“I am awfully greedy; I want everything from life. I want to be a woman and to be a man, to have many friends and to have loneliness, to work much and write good books, to travel and enjoy myself, to be selfish and to be unselfish… You see, it is difficult to get all which I want. And then when I do not succeed I get mad with anger.”
― Simone de Beauvoir

― Diane Seuss, Still Life with Two Dead Peacocks and a Girl

“A peasant that reads is a prince in waiting.”
― Walter Mosley, The Long Fall
