― Donna Tartt, The Goldfinch

“A time like that comes for every man, when he chooses what sort of man he wants to be. And if you don't know the story, you don't know the man.”
― Fredrik Backman, A Man Called Ove

“Maybe-- maybe love makes you suspicious and doubting. Is it true that when you love a woman you are never sure-- never sure of her because you aren't sure of yourself? ”
― John Steinbeck, East of Eden
