Laurelas’s Quotes

“I had absolutely no interest in being somebody else's muse.
I am not a muse.
I am the somebody.
End of fucking story.”
― Taylor Jenkins Reid, Daisy Jones & The Six

“L'irrévérence des jeunes filles devrait être l'objet de toutes nos attentions, elle devrait être archivée et transmise. Il faudrait les chérir, ces trop courtes années durant lesquelles les jeunes filles ignorent la prudence, le respect et le remords.”
― Lola Lafon, Quand tu écouteras cette chanson

“Gradually the waiting began to feel less like waiting and more like this was simply what life was: the distracting tasks undertaken while the thing you are waiting for continues not to happen.”
― Sally Rooney, Conversations with Friends

“Though I knew that I would eventually have to enter full-time employment, I certainly never fantasized about a radiant future where I was paid to perform an economic role. Sometimes this felt like a failure to take an interest in my own life, which depressed me.”
― Sally Rooney, Conversations with Friends

“On dit des femmes qui écrivent leur expérience de vie qu'elles « se » racontent, que leur récit est « personnel ». Le journal intime d'un homme, en revanche, semble contenir des vérités universelles. S'atteler au récit du monde a longtemps été l'apanage de ceux qui pouvaient l'arpenter, ces « récits de grands voyageurs ». Aux femmes, on abandonnait l'examen des sentiments, on leur concédait un savoir de l'intime, de l'intérieur, qu'il soit domestique ou sexuel.”
― Lola Lafon, Quand tu écouteras cette chanson
