“It was a wonderful feeling to be grown and yet young. To be married but not settled. To be tied down yet free.”
Tayari Jones, An American Marriage

Robertson Davies
“You are still young enough to think that torment of the spirit is a splendid thing, a sign of a superior nature. But you are no longer a young man; you are a youngish middle aged man, and it is time you found out that these spiritual athletics do not lead to wisdom.”
Robertson Davies, Fifth Business

Yukio Mishima
“We are not wounded so deeply when betrayed by the things we hope for as when betrayed by things we try our best to despise.
In such betrayal comes the dagger in the back.”
Yukio Mishima, Thirst for Love

Yukio Mishima
“Nobody even imagines how well one can lie about the state of one’s own heart.”
Yukio Mishima, Thirst for Love

Erica Jong
“I had forgotten how awful it was to be a woman alone--the leering glances, the catcalls, the offers of help which you dared not accept for fear of incurring a sexual debt. The awful sense of vulnerability. No wonder I had gone from man to man and always wound up married. How could I have left Bennett? How could I have forgotten?”
Erica Jong
