“Does such a thing as 'the fatal flaw,' that showy dark crack running down the middle of a life, exist outside literature? I used to think it didn't. Now I think it does. And I think that mine is this: a morbid longing for the picturesque at all costs.”
― Donna Tartt, The Secret History

“I’m broken by my need for others. By the erotic dance of memory that pounces when loneliness falls.”
― Sarah Winman, Tin Man
