“You go around for a long time carrying the minutiae of yourself in your own two hands, and it's not so bad, not even that heavy. It's just a thing you have to do. And then every so often a person shows up and opens their arms like the clean empty surface of a table, and suddenly your hands feel unbearably full, and you know what was true isn't true anymore, you couldn't for another instant continue bearing so many stories on your own.”
― Abbey Mei Otis, Alien Virus Love Disaster

“Confessare, anche a se stessi, i propri desideri - quelli veri - è pericoloso. Se sono realizzabili, e spesso lo sono, dichiararli ti mette di fronte alla paura di provarci. E dunque alla tua vigliaccheria. Allora preferisci non pensarci, o pensare che hai desideri impossibili, e che è da adulti non pensare alle cose impossibili.”
― Gianrico Carofiglio, Reasonable Doubts

“Any idiot can face a crisis; it's this day-to-day living that wears you out.”
― Anton Chekhov

“Come, Mr. Frodo!' he cried. 'I can't carry it for you, but I can carry you.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the King
