― Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre

“Then you look at her and smile a smile your dissembling face will remember until the day you die. Baby, you say, baby, this is part of my novel.

This is how you lose her.”
― Junot Diaz, This Is How You Lose Her

“I am invisible, understand, simply because people refuse to see me.

― Ralph Ellison, Invisible Man
