Erin

“Angry people are not always wise.”
― Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

“She looked over the bins of tinselly junk and felt despair, trying to find one single thing that wouldn't fall apart before you got it home. Maybe her father was lucky to die young with his pride of craftsmanship intact. What would he make of this world? Realistically, it probably wasn't slave children, but there had to be armies of factory workers making this slapdash stuff, underpaid people cranking out things for underpaid people to buy and use up, living their lives mostly to cancel each other out.”
― Barbara Kingsolver, Flight Behavior

“A woman fallen has no future; a man risen has no past.”
― Eleanor Catton, The Luminaries

“I must learn to be content with being happier than I deserve.”
― Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice
