Kindle Notes & Highlights
She hid her fire from the world behind a wall of ice, burning so bright on the inside, with passion and fervor and strength unlike any he had ever seen. She had been hurt by life, rejected by the world, abandoned by the ones she’d loved, and so she’d built a shell around her so hard it looked impenetrable, making anyone who looked her way think there was nothing worth knowing there, that the wall was all there was.
You give me a modicum of peace in a world of chaos.
I was looked at, but I wasn’t seen. —Albert Camus, The Misunderstanding
You will always be fond of me. I represent to you all the sins you never had the courage to commit. —Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray
