Michael Ende
“There are many kinds of joy, but they all lead to one: the joy to be loved.”
Michael Ende, The Neverending Story

“¿Cómo puedo sentirme tan miserable, turbada, humillada, apaleada, y
hablar todavía, funcionar, sonreír y, concentrarme?”
Beatrice Sparks, Go Ask Alice

Eugene O'Neill
“God damn you, stop shoving your rotten soul in my lap!”
Eugene O'Neill, The Iceman Cometh

Ammar Habib
“When the masses are against you, when fear is on every side, and when it seems like you are standing alone, that is when you should stand the tallest. That is when you plant yourself like a mountain, and you do what your heart knows is right. Even if death will be your only reward.”
Ammar Habib, The Heart of Aleppo: A Story of the Syrian Civil War

Helen Fielding
“it’s a bit like if we were on a planet where all the space creatures were short, green and fat. Except a very few of them were tall, thin and yellow. And all the advertising was of the tall, yellow ones, airbrushed to make them even taller and yellower. So all the little green space creatures spent their whole time feeling sad because they weren’t tall, thin and yellow.”
Helen Fielding, Mad About the Boy
