“I do not think I ever opened a book in my life which had not something to say upon woman's inconstancy. Songs and proverbs, all talk of woman's fickleness. But perhaps you will say, these were all written by men."

― Jane Austen, Persuasion

“We accept the love we think we deserve.”
― Stephen Chbosky, The Perks of Being a Wallflower
