Sania

“I am poor—you are my riches; dark—you are my light; I own nothing, need nothing. And how could I own anything? After all, it is a contradiction that he can own something who does not own himself. I am happy as a child who is neither able to own anything nor allowed to. I own nothing, for I belong only to you; I am not, I have ceased to be, in order to be yours.”

—Johannes the Seducer, from_Either/Or_”
― Søren Kierkegaard

“There’s no arguing, no needling, no discussion. It is quiet and awkward and terrifying.”
― Luchia Dertien, Gnomon

“Sooner or later, every last echo fades. Even the loudest thunder in the deepest valley.”
― Brian K. Vaughan, Saga, Volume 7

“But we’re both old enough to know things now, and that’s good.” “What things?” “When to shut up, mainly.”
― Elizabeth Strout, Olive, Again
