“Poor girls. The world fattens them on the promise of love. How badly they need it, and how little most of them will ever get.”
― Emma Cline, The Girls

“I belong deeply to myself.”

“There's no substitute for will. Sometimes you have to fake will when you don't feel it at all.”
― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Love of the Last Tycoon

“What a feeble thing intelligence is, with its short steps, its waverings, its pacings back and forth, its disastrous retreats! Intelligence is a mere instrument of circumstances. There are people who say that intelligence must have built the universe - why, intelligence never built a steam-engine! Circumstances built a steam-engine. Intelligence is little more than a short foot-rule by which we measure the infinite achievements of Circumstances.”
― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Beautiful and Damned
