“You have these lines you won’t cross. But then you cross them. And suddenly you possess the very dangerous information that you can break the rule and the world won’t instantly come to an end. You’ve taken a big, black, bold line and you’ve made it a little bit gray. And now every time you cross it again, it just gets grayer and grayer until one day you look around and you think, There was a line here once, I think.”
― Taylor Jenkins Reid, Daisy Jones & The Six

“Being rich is not about how much money you have or how many homes you own; it's the freedom to buy any book you want without looking at the price and wondering if you can afford it.”
― John Waters, Role Models

“Dans le mot défection, il y a une autre idée  : son père lui a manqué. Et le double sens de ce verbe convient absolument. D'abord, une faute, une infraction, une violation. Il s'est dérobé à ses obligations, écarté des routes droites, il a enfreint les règles non écrites, péché contre l'ordre établi, joué contre son camp, piétiné la confiance placée en lui, offensé ses proches, ses amis, il a trahi. Ensuite, une morsure, une douleur, un chagrin. Il n'a pas été présent alors qu'on comptait sur lui, il a laissé un vide que nul n'est venu combler, des questions auxquelles nul n'a su répondre, une frustration irréductible, une demande affective que nul n'a été en mesure d'étancher.”
― Philippe Besson, « Arrête avec tes mensonges »

“I used to think soul mates were two of the same. I used to think I was supposed to look for somebody that was like me. I don't believe in soul mates anymore and I'm not looking for anything. But if I did believe in them, I'd believe your soul mate was somebody who had all the things you didn't, that needed all the things you had. Not somebody who's suffering from the same stuff you are.”
