    Simone de Beauvoir
    “ I am awfully greedy; I want everything from life. I want to be a woman and to be a man, to have many friends and to have loneliness, to work much and write good books, to travel and enjoy myself, to be selfish and to be unselfish… You see, it is difficult to get all which I want. And then when I do not succeed I get mad with anger. ”
    ― Simone de Beauvoir

    “ Books are the plane, and the train, and the road. They are the destination, and the journey. They are home. ”
    ― Anna Quindlen, How Reading Changed My Life
