“The dark is generous and it is patient and it always wins – but in the heart of its strength lies its weakness: one lone candle is enough to hold it back.
Love is more than a candle.
Love can ignite the stars.”

“She put her hand on my chin and gently raised my head and looked straight into my eyes. “Whatever it is that’s going through that pretty little head of yours, well, you can’t hide it from me.” I didn’t say a word. She kissed me on the cheek—​and then she said, “I’ll love you till the day I die, Sally.” I cried all the way home.”

“The cause of my profound sense of incompatibility with others is, I believe, that most people think with their feelings, whereas I feel with my thoughts.
For the ordinary man, to feel is to live, and to think is to know how to live. For me, to think is to live, and to feel is merely food for thought.”
― Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet

“When I try to picture for myself what a happy life might look like, the picture hasn't changed very much since I was a child - a house with flowers and trees around it, and a river nearby, and a room full of books, and someone there to love me, that's all. Just to make a home there, and to care for my parents when they grow older. Never to move, never to board a plane again, just to live quietly and then be buried in the earth.”
― Sally Rooney, Beautiful World, Where Are You
