“The truth is that you simply can’t make it into adulthood unscathed. And if somehow you did, you wouldn’t have the perspective and empathy to properly care for another human being for the rest of both your lives. It’s impossible. Everyone’s going to have their shit.”

“Je
revis les derniers jours de cette semaine, ma confiance, ma tranquillité auprès de lui et je regrettai l'approche de cette bouche longue et un peu lourde.
- Cyril, - dis-je, - nous étions si heureux...”

“Je crois bien que la plupart de mes plaisirs d'alors, je les dus à l'argent: le plaisir d'aller vite en voiture, d'avoir une robe neuve, d'acheter des disques, des livres, des fleurs. Je n'ai pas honte encore de ces plaisirs faciles, je ne puis d'ailleurs les appeler faciles que parce que j'ai entendu dire qu'ils l'étaient. Je regretterais, je renierais plus facilement mes chagrins ou mes crises mystiques. Le goût du plaisir, du bonheur représente le seul côté cohérent de mon caractère.”
― Françoise Sagan, Bonjour Tristesse

“One thing you can say about Twilight is that it is not boring. There are a billion characters, they’re always saying some crazy shit, and they’re SO HORNY! Twilight feels like it was written by an AI that almost gets it. Something is just 2 percent off about every line and every interaction, which, taken cumulatively, is like a window into one of those dimensions where everything is identical to ours except cats and turtles are switched and Prince never died. Twilight took me out of my body in a way that did not give me pleasure but did give me fascination, and when it was over, I couldn’t believe it, but I felt compelled to watch the next one just to continue the satisfying, itchy glitch of it all. Twilight kept me awake, which honestly is more than I can say for Top Gun, peace be upon Tony Scott (I stan Déjà Vu).”
