“L’amour n’est pas consolation, il est lumière.”

“I believe there is something of the divine mystery in everything that exists. We can see it sparkle in a sunflower or a poppy. We sense more of the unfathomable mystery in a butterfly that flutters from a twig--or in a goldfish swimming in a bowl. But we are closest to God in our own soul. Only there can we become one with the greatest mystery of life. In truth, at very rare moments we can experience that we ourselves are that divine mystery.”
― Jostein Gaarder, Sophie's World: A Novel About the History of Philosophy

“I yearned for everything long gone.”
― Osamu Dazai, Schoolgirl

“In my world, everyone's a pony and they all eat rainbows and poop butterflies!”
― Dr. Seuss
