“No mockery in this world ever sounds to me so hollow as that of being told to cultivate happiness. What does such advice mean? Happiness is not a potato, to be planted in mould, and tilled with manure. Happiness is a glory shining far down upon us out of Heaven. She is a divine dew which the soul, on certain of its summer mornings, feels dropping upon it from the amaranth bloom and golden fruitage of Paradise.”
― Charlotte Brontë, Villette

“I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.”
― Pablo Neruda, 100 Love Sonnets

“I'm not upset that you lied to me, I'm upset that from now on I can't believe you.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche

“Έρχεται κάποια στιγμή, όπου η μεγαλειότητά μας, ο εαυτός μας, είναι ανάγκη να περάσει στην αίθουσα του θρόνου με τους αυλικούς του, το νου και την καρδιά, για ν' αποφασίσει επάνω στον καταστατικό χάρτη της ζωής του.”
― Τάσος Αθανασιάδης, Η αίθουσα του θρόνου
