A Coke is a Coke and no amount of money can get you a better Coke than the one the bum on the corner is drinking. All the Cokes are the same and all the Cokes are good.”
― Andy Warhol

“Do you think I am an automaton? — a machine without feelings? and can bear to have my morsel of bread snatched from my lips, and my drop of living water dashed from my cup? Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain, and little, I am soulless and heartless? You think wrong! — I have as much soul as you — and full as much heart! And if God had gifted me with some beauty and much wealth, I should have made it as hard for you to leave me, as it is now for me to leave you. I am not talking to you now through the medium of custom, conventionalities, nor even of mortal flesh: it is my spirit that addresses your spirit; just as if both had passed through the grave, and we stood at God's feet, equal — as we are!”
― Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre

“اصلاً هم جوان خوش‌قیافه ندیده بودم و هیچ‌وقت در عمرم با جوان خوش‌قیافه‌ای حرف نزده بودم. قدر و احترامی که برای زیبایی، آراستگی، جوانمردی و جذابیت قائل بودم صرفاً جنبه ذهنی داشت. اما اگر چنین خصوصیت‌هایی را در هیئت مردانه‌ای می‌دیدم خودبه‌خود می‌فهمیدم که با هیچ خصوصیتی در من سنخیت ندارند و نمی‌توانند هم داشته باشند، و بلافاصله رویم را برمی‌گرداندم، همان‌طور که از آتش و آذرخش رویم را برمی‌گرداندم، یا هر چیز دیگری که تابناک می‌بود و چشم را می‌زد.”
― Charlotte Brontë

“من در گیتسهد هال وصله ناجور به حساب می‌آمدم. شبیه بقیه نبودم. با خانم رید و بچه‌هایش و اعوان و انصارشان هیچ وجه مشترکی نداشتم. دوستم نداشتند و من هم زیاد دوست‌شان نداشتم. مجبور نبودند به کسی محبت کنند که با هیچ‌کدام‌شان همدلی نداشت. موجود ناسازی بودم. از لحاظ خلق و خو و میل و استعداد و علایق نقطه مقابل آنها بودم. مثل شی بی‌مصرفی بود که نه به دردشان می‌خورد و نه لذتی به آنها می‌داد. اصلاً مخل کارشان بودم. باعث می‌دم عصبانی بشوند و تحقیرم کند. می‌دانم که اگر بچه سرحال و تند و تیز و بی‌خیال و پرجنب‌وجوش و خوشگلی بودم و اهل بگوبخند – با آن که باز هم سربار و بی‌کس بودم – خانم رید حضورم را راحت‌تر تحمل می‌کرد، بچه‌هایش همدلی و همراهی بیشتری از خود نشان می‌‌دادند، خدمتکارها هم کمتر مرا سپر بلای کارهای خودشان می‌کردند.”
― Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre

“We’re all seeking that special person who is right for us. But if you’ve been through enough relationships, you begin to suspect there’s no right person, just different flavors of wrong. Why is this? Because you yourself are wrong in some way, and you seek out partners who are wrong in some complementary way. But it takes a lot of living to grow fully into your own wrongness. And it isn’t until you finally run up against your deepest demons, your unsolvable problems—the ones that make you truly who you are—that we’re ready to find a lifelong mate. Only then do you finally know what you’re looking for. You’re looking for the wrong person. But not just any wrong person: it's got to be the right wrong person—someone you lovingly gaze upon and think, “This is the problem I want to have.”

I will find that special person who is wrong for me in just the right way.”
― Andrew Boyd, Daily Afflictions: The Agony of Being Connected to Everything in the Universe
