“Sometimes I think illness sits inside every woman, waiting for the right moment to bloom. I have known so many sick women all my life. Women with chronic pain, with ever-gestating diseases. Women with conditions. Men, sure, they have bone snaps, they have backaches, they have a surgery or two, yank out a tonsil, insert a shiny plastic hip. Women get consumed.”
― Gillian Flynn, Sharp Objects

“You became to me the visible incarnation of that unseen ideal whose memory haunts us artists like an exquisite dream.”

― Oscar Wilde, Lady Windermere's Fan

“If you expect nothing from somebody you are never disappointed.”
