““No one so beautiful and so fierce could give offence except to the very stupid. But I think she could inspire feelings of respect in the most Philistine. This shyness or fierceness was a necessary defence in her war with the world. The world must accept her on her own terms or not at all.””— - Duncan Grant, on Virginia Woolf, circa 1941
“It’s that thing when you’re with someone and you love them and they know it and they love you and you know it but it’s a party and you’re both talking to other people and you’re laughing and shining and you look across the room and catch each other’s eyes. But not because you’re possessive, or it’s precisely sexual, but because that is your person in this life and it’s funny and sad but only because this life will end and it’s this secret world that exists right there. In public. Unnoticed. That no one else knows about. It’s sort of like how they say that other dimensions exist all around us but we don’t have the ability to perceive them. That’s what I want out of a relationship. Or just life, I guess.”— Frances Ha (2012)
