“Perhaps you are right, sister.  Perhaps it is time we all calmed down a little and started to tell each other the truth.”  Šarlatová paused to look at the faces of everyone assembled in the room and added, “But it is going to take a while….a long while.”
Stephen A. Reger, Storm Surge: Book Two of the Stormsong Trilogy

Fernando Pessoa
“Anyone who wants to be understood will never know the delight of being
understood, because this happens only to the complex and misunderstood;simple souls, the ones whom other people can understand, never feel a desire to be understood.”
Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet: The Complete Edition
