“But it is not what I am saying that is hurting you; it is that you have wounds that I touch by what I have said. You are hurting yourself. There is no way I can take this personally.”
― Don Miguel Ruiz, The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom

“Wherever you go you will find people lying to you, and as your awareness grows, you will notice that you also lie to yourself. Do not expect people to tell you the truth because they also lie to themselves. You have to trust yourself and choose to believe or not to believe what someone says to you.”
― Don Miguel Ruiz, The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom

“Maybe that's why you demonised them,

because you think monsters are easier
to understand than women who say no to you.”

“Добрите дела невинаги имат добри последици, както и от лошото невинаги следва лошо. Трябва да кажа, че лично аз никога не съм поставял строга граница между "добро" и "лошо". За мен тази граница често заблуждава. Двете неща никога не са напълно откъснати едно от друго. Едното не може да съществува без другото. Докато обичта е движещата сила на постъпките ми, аз знам, че правя най-доброто, което мога.”
― Дона Тарт, The Goldfinch

“In other words, women were not born with a wedding gown gene or a neo-natal craving for a diamond engagement ring! They were taught to want these things. Women didn’t enter the world with a desire to practice something called dating or a desire to play with a “My Size Bride Barbie,” they were rewarded for desiring these things. Likewise, men did not exit the womb knowing they would one day buy a date a bunch of flowers or spend two months’ income to buy an engagement ring. These are all products that have been sold to consumers interested in taking part in a culturally established ritual that works to organize and institutionalize heterosexuality and reward those who participate.”
― Chrys Ingraham

“Man seeks for drama and excitement; when he cannot get satisfaction on a higher level, he creates for himself the drama of destruction.”

― Heloise, The Letters of Abélard and Héloïse

“Арчи, какво искаш да ми кажеш с всичко това?
Да ти кажа, че човек никога не знае дали изборът му е правилен, или не. За да разбереш, трябва да си наясно с всички възможни факти, а единственият начин да събереш всички факти, е да си едновременно и на двете места, което е невъзможно.
Е, и?
Затова хората вярват в Бог.”
― Paul Auster, 4 3 2 1
