“I've known a hundred kinds of love;
⁠All made the loved one rue;
And what is thine that it should prove
⁠Than other love, more true?”
― Emily Brontë, Collected Poems

“It is only when a man tames his own demons that he becomes the king of himself if not of the world.”
― Joseph Campbell, The Hero with a Thousand Faces

“The thing is, if you get very depressed about something, it's hard as hell to swallow.”
― J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye

“Marry, and you will regret it; don’t marry, you will also regret it; marry or don’t marry, you will regret it either way. Laugh at the world’s foolishness, you will regret it; weep over it, you will regret that too; laugh at the world’s foolishness or weep over it, you will regret both. Believe a woman, you will regret it; believe her not, you will also regret it… Hang yourself, you will regret it; do not hang yourself, and you will regret that too; hang yourself or don’t hang yourself, you’ll regret it either way; whether you hang yourself or do not hang yourself, you will regret both. This, gentlemen, is the essence of all philosophy.”
― Søren Kierkegaard
