Quote by Annie Ernaux

“Menstruation, making love, that had to come, but getting married? Everything that I've just experienced seems like all those things that are neither deliberately willed nor firmly rejected, and are therefore bathed in a romantic glow. One of those days, I know, that reveal their significance only with time.”
