“Forgive me, for all the things I did but mostly for the ones that I did not.”
― Donna Tartt, The Secret History

“There are many types of monsters that scare me: Monsters who cause trouble without showing themselves, monsters who abduct children, monsters who devour dreams, monsters who suck blood... and then, monsters who tell nothing but lies. Lying monsters are a real nuisance: They are much more cunning than others. They pose as humans even though they have no understanding of the human heart; they eat even though they've never experienced hunger; they study even though they have no interest in academics; they seek friendship even though they do not know how to love. If I were to encounter such monsters, I would likely be eaten by them... because in truth, I am that monster.”
― L Lawliet

“I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity.”
― Edgar Allan Poe

― Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov

“من يهوش بالسلام ويريد الحرب يكسب الحرب. ومن يهوش بالحرب ويريد السلام يخسر الحرب ويخسر السلام.”
― توفيق الحكيم, عودة الوعي

“لا خجل من الضعف إذا المرء عليه انتصر و ما معنى القوة إذا لم تستو فوق خلجات الخور. فانهل من رحيق الحياة السامي النابع من علو الهمم”
― نجيب محفوظ, الحرافيش

“To go wrong in one's own way is better than to go right in someone else's.”
― Fyodor Dostoevsky, Crime and Punishment
