“I have nobody in the world. I'll kill myself. That's best. Everyone will say, It's for the best that she killed herself, she's better off dead . . . I hate myself so much I could spend hours and hours just screaming with hatred and with the pain of it, oh the pain of it . . .”
― Iris Murdoch, The Black Prince

“Nothing's perfect, the world's not perfect, but it's there for us, trying the best it can. That's what makes it so beautiful.”
