STUPIDITY QUOTE 3 OF 3 Sat, Sep 18, 2021 "In Madeleine's face was a stupidity Mitchell had never seen before. It was the stupidity of all normal people. It was the stupidity of the fortunate and the beautiful, of everybody who got what they wanted in life and so remained unremarkable." - Jeffrey Eugenides, The Marriage Plot

"Presently, Billy had one hand sensitively in the back packet of Madeleine’s jeans. She had her hand in the back pocket of his jeans. They were moving along like that, each cupping a handful of the other. In Madeleine’s face was a stupidity Mitchell had never seen before. It was the stupidity of all normal people. It was the stupidity of the fortunate and beautiful, of everybody who got what they wanted in life and so remained unremarkable."

still getting that feeling that what everyone really wants is a shell of someone else to fill up with themselves...

“Just someone who knows, from personal experience, how attractive it can be to think you can save somebody else by loving them.”
