the marriage plot

"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."

"And the artists were the worst, the painters and writers, because they believed they were living for art when they were really feeding their narcissism."
--Jeffrey Eugenides, The Marriage Plot
