“Um sein wahres Ich zu finden, ist es notwendig, alles in Frage zu stellen, was man bei der Geburt vorgefunden hat. Manches davon auch zu verlieren, denn oft lernt man nur im Schmerz, was wirklich zu einem gehört... Es sind die Brüche, in denen man sich erkennt.”
― Benedict Wells, Vom Ende der Einsamkeit

“Do you take pride in your hurt? Does it make you seem large and tragic? ...Well, think about it. Maybe you're playing a part on a great stage with only yourself as audience.”
― John Steinbeck, East of Eden

“But I think it is also the relief I feel that those stars are immovable. Nothing you or I could do will ever alter them. They are so much bigger than us. And they will not change within our lifetime. We can succeed or fail, get it right or get it wrong, love and lose the ones we love, and still the Summer Triangle will point south. And in that way, I know everything will be some type of okay—as impossible as that can seem sometimes.”
― Taylor Jenkins Reid, Atmosphere

“And now that you don't have to be perfect, you can be good.”
― John Steinbeck, East of Eden
