“I don't know that we are actually human at this point, those of us who are like most of us, who grew up with the words to say; when a loved one dies, we know the words to say. If we want to play the stud or the smart-ass or the fool, we know the words to say. We are all working from the same dog-eared script. It's a very difficult era in which to be a person, just a real, actual person, instead of a collection of personality traits selected from an endless Automat of characters.”
― Gillian Flynn

“To burn with desire and keep quiet about it is the greatest punishment we can bring on ourselves.”

“A kiss is a secret which takes the lips for the ear.”
― Edmond Rostand, Cyrano de Bergerac
