Book cover for The Best Girls
Aunt told us that we were good girls, the best girls, because we never complained. Then Grandmother said that we must take good care of Jaesung, because a boy would protect and honor his family. This was something we had to remember.

Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
“Words are a pretext. It is the inner bond that draws one person to another, not words.”
Rumi

Donna Tartt
“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

Jennifer   Wright
“It’s perfectly possible to be smarter than everyone else and still be polite and even deferential—women have been doing it for centuries.”
Jennifer Wright, Get Well Soon: History's Worst Plagues and the Heroes Who Fought Them

Lao Tzu
“Because one believes in oneself, one doesn't try to convince others. Because one is content with oneself, one doesn't need others' approval. Because one accepts oneself, the whole world accepts him or her.”
Lao Tzu

Margaret Atwood
“Better never means better for everyone... It always means worse, for some.”
Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid’s Tale
