“¡Por todas partes lo mismo! Por todas partes buscaban la “libertad” y la “felicidad” en el pasado, de puro miedo a verse confrontados con su propia responsabilidad y con su propio camino.”
― Hermann Hesse, Demian: Die Geschichte von Emil Sinclairs Jugend

“The problem with gender is that it prescribes how we should be rather than recognizing how we are. Imagine how much happier we would be, how much freer to be our true individual selves, if we didn’t have the weight of gender expectations.”
― Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, We Should All Be Feminists

“Era la enamorada de todas las novelas, la heroína de todos los dramas, la vaga "ella" de todos los libros de versos.”
― Gustave Flaubert, Madame Bovary

“Like the Baron, Mathilde developed a formula for acting out life as a series of roles—that is, by saying to herself in the morning while brushing her blond hair, "Today I want to become this or that person," and then proceeding to be that person.
One day she decided she would like to be an elegant representative of a well-known Parisian modiste and go to Peru. All she had to do was to act the role. So she dressed with care, presented herself with extraordinary assurance at the house of the modiste, was engaged to be her representative and given a boat ticket to Lima.
Aboard ship, she behaved like a French missionary of elegance. Her innate talent for recognizing good wines, good perfumes, good dressmaking, marked her as a lady of refinement.”
― Anaïs Nin, Delta of Venus
