I finished reading Lady Chatterley's Lover by D.H. Laurence and started adding my favourite quotes on @literarymood

Simone de Beauvoir, Diary of a Philosophy Student: Vol. I, 1926-27
"The scars of the past shape us, but they need not define us; we have the power to write our own stories."
'Good is dull. What novelist ever succeeded in making a good man interesting? . . . Evil on the contrary, is exciting and fascinating and alive. It is also very much more mysterious than good. Good can be seen through. Evil is opaque.'
Loved it!
