― Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

“The common prejudice that love is as common as "romance" may be due to the fact that we all learned about it first through poetry. But the poets fool us; they are the only ones to whom love is not only a crucial, but an indispensable experience, which entitles them to mistake it for a universal one.”
― Hannah Arendt, The Human Condition

“No punishment has ever possessed enough power of deterrence to prevent the commission of crimes.”
― Hannah Arendt

“One's life has value so long as one attributes value to the life of others, by means of love, friendship, and compassion”
― Simone de Beauvoir
