“The only way out of the labyrinth of suffering is to forgive.”
― John Green, Looking for Alaska

“We felt the imprisonment of being a girl, the way it made your mind active and dreamy, and how you ended up knowing which colors went together. We knew that the girls were our twins, that we all existed in space like animals with identical skins, and that they knew everything about us though we couldn’t fathom them at all. We knew, finally, that the girls were really women in disguise, that they understood love and even death, and that our job was merely to create the noise that seemed to fascinate them.”
― Jeffrey Eugenides, The Virgin Suicides

“Without suffering, there'd be no compassion.”
― Nicholas Sparks, A Walk to Remember

“And in that moment, I swear we were infinite.”
― Stephen Chbosky, The Perks of Being a Wallflower
