“...it is sad, of course, to forget.
But it is a lonely thing, to be forgotten.
To remember when no one else does.”
― V.E. Schwab, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue

“Some day we may build towers taller than the eye can see, fly through the sky on wings, even live among the stars. But I know this much; the things that surround us may change, but our emotions will always remain the same. A man who loses his beloved wife a thousand years ago suffered the same grief that I felt when I lost mine, no more no less...Love does not change, anger never varies. Hope, desperation, fear, longing, desire, lust, anxiety, confusion and joy; you and I endure these emotions just as men and women always have or ever will.”
― John Boyne, A Traveler at the Gates of Wisdom

“It is not he who is revealed by the painter; it is rather the painter, who on the coloured canvas, reveals himself.”
― Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

“It costs our ancestors too damned much for us to have this life - the best thing we can do to honor them is to live it to its fullest.”
― Kelly Rimmer, The Things We Cannot Say
