“Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know.”
― Ernest Hemingway, The Garden of Eden

“These violent delights have violent ends
And in their triumph die, like fire and powder,
Which as they kiss consume. The sweetest honey
Is loathsome in his own deliciousness
And in the taste confounds the appetite.
Therefore love moderately; long love doth so;
Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.”
― William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet

“We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospect.”
― Anais Nin

“That which does not kill us makes us stronger.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche
