“For a candidate, a leader, or anyone, really, the question is not “Are you flawed?�� It’s “What do you do about your flaws?�� Do you learn from your mistakes so you can do and be better in the future? Or do you reject the hard work of self-improvement and instead tear others down so you can assert they’re as bad or worse than you are?”
― Hillary Rodham Clinton, What Happened

“I saw the days of the year stretching ahead like a series of bright, white boxes, and separating one box from another was sleep, like a black shade. Only for me, the long perspective of shades that set off one box from the next had suddenly snapped up, and I could see day after day glaring ahead of me like a white, broad, infinitely desolate avenue.

It seemed silly to wash one day when I would only have to wash again the next day.

It made me tired just to think of it.

I wanted to do everything once and for all and to be through with it.”
― Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar

“I am seized by two contradictory feelings: there is so much beauty in the world it is incredible that we are ever miserable for a moment; there is so much shit in the world that it is incredible we are ever happy for a moment.”
