“Maybe it takes commitment to know you shouldn’t have committed in the first place.”

“Hazel, listen to me. I'm going to tell you something important, you need to be brave.' I then explained to the dog how I have told myself for so many years that my career fell apart because I wasn't any good, but now I'm starting to think it all fell apart because I had ceased to be brave. 'If this were a movie, I'd be drowning in regret now. But I'm telling you, Hazel, it doesn't feel anything like regret. It feels like I just missed getting hit by a train.”

“Simon nu știa dacă să râdă sau să plângă. Dacă le asculți, pe toate le-a salvat. De unde și până unde a salvat el pe cineva? Pe el s-a salvat, cum a putut. Dacă n-ar fi fost ele - în fine, și încă vreo alte câteva relații trecătoare, fără însemnătate -, și-ar fi pierdut mințile de tot. Așa, datorită femeilor, a trăit. A plutit de la una la alta, ca de la un chei la altul. Ancorează, se odihnește, mai trage niște aer în plămâni - și pleacă mai departe.”

“I bore no responsibility in any of this. With my reduced muscular strenght, I couldn't afford to bear any.”

“IT’S THE LESSON YOUNG GIRLS EVERYWHERE were taught their entire lives—don’t be seduced by the men you meet, protect your virtue—until, of course, their entire lives depended on seduction by the right man. It was an impossible situation, a trick of society as a whole: force women to live at the mercy of whichever man wants them but shame them for anything they might do to get a man to want them. Passivity was the ultimate virtue. Heaven forbid you turn into someone like Hyacinth Coldwater. Be patient, be silent, be beautiful and untouched as an orchid, and then and only then will your reward come: a bell jar to keep you safe.”
― Anatomy: A Love Story
