“Beauty is terror. Whatever we call beautiful, we quiver before it.”
Donna Tartt, The Secret History

“Does such a thing as 'the fatal flaw,' that showy dark crack running down the middle of a life, exist outside literature? I used to think it didn't. Now I think it does. And I think that mine is this: a morbid longing for the picturesque at all costs.”
Donna Tartt, The Secret History

“Forgive me, for all the things I did but mostly for the ones that I did not.”
Donna Tartt, The Secret History
