Glennon Doyle
“Every time you're given a choice between disappointing someone else and disappointing yourself, your duty is to disappoint that someone else. Your job throughout your entire life, is to disappoint as many people as it takes to avoid disappointing yourself.”
Glennon Doyle, Untamed

Jennifer L. Armentrout
“You can let go. I'm not going to stab you.'

'I find that oddly disappointing.'

'And I find that extremely disturbing.”
Jennifer L. Armentrout, A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire
