"I want to think quietly, calmly, spaciously, never to be interrupted, never to have to rise from my chair, to slip easily from one thing to another, without any sense of hostility, or obstacle."
- Virginia Woolf, "The Mark on the Wall"
"There are few people whom I really love, and still fewer of whom I think well. The more I see of the world, the more am I dissatisfied with it; and every day confirms my belief of the inconsistency of all human characters, and of the little dependence that can be placed on the appearance of merit or sense." - Elizabeth Bennet, Pride and Prejudice
"I am only resolved to act in that manner which will, in my own opinion, constitute my happiness, without reference to you, or to any person so wholly unconnected with me." - Elizabeth Bennet, Pride and Prejudice
"I'm just a f***ed-up girl looking for her own peace of mind. Don't assign me yours." - Kate Winslet, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
"I don't have low self-esteem. I have low esteem for everyone else." - Daria
