“There is some kind of a sweet innocence in being human- in not having to be just happy or just sad- in the nature of being able to be both broken and whole, at the same time.”
― C. JoyBell C.

“The chemistry of mind is different from the chemistry of love. The mind is careful, suspicious, he advances little by little. He advices “Be careful, protect yourself” Whereas love says “Let yourself, go!” The mind is strong, never fells down, while love hurts itself, fells into ruins. But isn’t it in ruins that we mostly find the treasures? A broken heart hides so many treasures.”
― Elif Shafak, The Forty Rules of Love

“The question is frequently asked: Why does a man become a drug addict?
The answer is that he usually does not intend to become an addict. You don’t wake up one morning and decide to be a drug addict. It takes at least three months’ shooting twice a day to get any habit at all. And you don’t really know what junk sickness is until you have had several habits. It took me almost six months to get my first habit, and then the withdrawal symptoms were mild. I think it no exaggeration to say it takes about a year and several hundred injections to make an addict.
The questions, of course, could be asked: Why did you ever try narcotics? Why did you continue using it long enough to become an addict? You become a narcotics addict because you do not have strong motivations in the other direction. Junk wins by default. I tried it as a matter of curiosity. I drifted along taking shots when I could score. I ended up hooked. Most addicts I have talked to report a similar experience. They did not start using drugs for any reason they can remember. They just drifted along until they got hooked. If you have never been addicted, you can have no clear idea what it means to need junk with the addict’s special need. You don’t decide to be an addict. One morning you wake up sick and you’re an addict. (Junky, Prologue, p. xxxviii)”
― William S. Burroughs, Junky

“When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy.”
― Rumi

“Be empty of worrying.
Think of who created thought!

Why do you stay in prison
When the door is so wide open?”
― Mawlana Jalal-al-Din Rumi, The Essential Rumi

“You are not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean in a drop.”
― Rumi

“Only from the heart can you touch the sky.”
― Mawlana Jalal-al-Din Rumi

“...Дълго време едничката ми цел в живота бе да се саморазрушавам. И ето че веднъж ми се прииска щастие. Ужасно е, срам ме е, простете ми, но един ден изпаднах в плен на вулгарното изкушение да бъда щастлив. По-късно разбрах, че това е най-добрият начин да се саморазрушиш.”
― Frederick Beigbeder, L'amour dure trois ans

“The truth is always a disappointment, which is why everybody lies.”
― Frédéric Beigbeder, L'amour dure trois ans

“Любовта представлява една великолепна катастрофа: знаеш, че пред теб има стена и въпреки всичко даваш газ. Тичаш право към своята гибел с усмивка на уста. С любопитство очакваш кога точно ще гръмне всичко. Любовта е единственото предварително програмирано разочарование, единственото нещастие, което всеки може да предвиди и всеки път желае отново.”
― Frédéric Beigbeder, L'amour dure trois ans

“ Откривам, че когато си влюбен, верността престава да бъде саможертва. Влюбеният се познава по това, че остава верен, без да влага усилия и без да се гордее с това. Любовта е онова нещо, което превръща верността в естествено състояние. ”
― Frederick Beigbeder

“Скъсваме се от смях, а миг по-късно оклюмваме. Ето как живеем.”
― Frédéric Beigbeder

“If women really want a relationship to last, all they have to do is never sleep with us and we will happily spend the rest of our lives chasing them.”
― Frédéric Beigbeder, Holiday in a Coma & Love Lasts Three Years

“I’ve learned that in order to be happy, you first have to have been extremely depressed. Until you have learned to suffer, happiness will never endure. The love that lasts just three years is the love that has neither scaled mountains nor lingered in the depths of despair, but the kind of love that is handed to you on a plate. Love only lasts if everyone involved knows what it costs, and it’s best to pay in advance, or else you might find yourself having to settle the bill later on. We weren’t prepared for happiness, because we weren't yet used to misery. We had grown up in the religion of comfort. You first have to know who you are and who you love. You have to be a finished person to live an unfinished story.”
― Frédéric Beigbeder, L'amour dure trois ans

“Ich hatte immer Angst, nie wieder lieben zu können; jetzt habe ich Angst, auf ewig lieben zu müssen. Dabei habe ich sie noch nicht einmal geküsst.”
― Frédéric Beigbeder, L'Égoïste romantique

“Сетне един ден, когато дойде моят ред да я изпитвам, аз открих върховното доказателство за любовта. Онова, което щеше да означава, че тя ме обича за цял живот.


Не, не я убих. Прекалено просто би било. Исках тя да страда до края на дните си, за да ми удостоверява във всеки един момент своята абсолютна любов чак до смъртта.


Ето защо я напуснах.


Поради което тя никога повече не ме видя.


С всеки изминал ден всеки от нас страда все по-силно за другия. Плачем един за друг вече години наред. Ала и тя като мен знае, че инак не може и да бъде.


Нашето най-силно доказателство за любовта ни бе никога повече да не се виждаме.”
― Frederic Beigbeder, Nouvelles sous ecstasy

“Тази цивилизация почива върху лъжливи желания… Тази цивилизация е обречена на гибел.”
― Frédéric Beigbeder, 99 francs

“Научих преди всичко, че за да бъдеш щастлив, трябва да си бил много нещастен. Без чиракуване, без болка щастието не е трайно. Любовта, която трае три години, е любов, която не е изкачвала планини и не е потъвала на дъното, а е паднала наготово от небето. Любовта е трайна само когато всеки от двамата знае нейната цена и по - добре да си е платил предварително, инак има опасност да трябва да урежда сметката след това. Ние не сме подготвени за щастието, защото не сме привикнали с нещастието. Ние сме възпитани в преклонение пред удобството. Трябва да знаеш кой си и кого обичаш. Трябва сам да си довършен, за да можеш да преживееш една недовършена история.”
― Frédéric Beigbeder, L'amour dure trois ans

“Because it’s yourself you really ruin, when you make someone else suffer”
― Frédéric Beigbeder

“The problem with love, as I see it, is this: in order to be happy you need to have security, whereas to be in love you need insecurity. Happiness requires confidence whereas love requires doubt and anxiety. Thus, in summary: marriage was conceived to ensure mutual happiness but not enduring love. And to fall in love is not the best way to find happiness; if it were, we’d all know by now, wouldn’t we. I’m not sure if I’m making myself clear, but it makes perfect sense to me: marriage mixes together things that weren’t meant to go together.”
― Frédéric Beigbeder
