Donna Tartt's book has deeply affected me.

“Even if it meant that she had failed, she was glad. And if what she'd wanted had been impossible from the start, still there was a certain lonely comfort in the fact that she'd known it was impossible and had gone ahead and done it anyway.”

The problems with beauty are many.

“They understand not only evil, it seemed, but the extravagance of tricks with which evil presents itself as good.”
