― Becky Albertalli, Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda

“[I]f we revert to history, we shall find that the women who have distinguished themselves have neither been the most beautiful nor the most gentle of their sex.”
― Mary Wollstonecraft, A Vindication of the Rights of Woman

“A veces las relaciones que se cimentan en el daño son más persistentes que las que se basan en el amor.”

“Deep within everyone's heart there always remains a sense of longing for that hour, that summer, that one brief moment of blossoming. For several weeks or months, rarely longer, a beautiful young woman lives outside ordinary life. She is intoxicated.

― Irene Nemirovsky, Jezebel
