“I think we all justlove, as best we can, whoever we think can give us what we need.”
“We’ve been told prettiness will somehow make us better—and more loved. Do we really want to bear the mark of physical beauty? Or do we just want to be loved?”
“All we really want is for no one to have a boring life, to be impressive, so we can be impressed. ~ on the friends we choose.”
