Nizami Ganjavi
“For all the suffering that you’ve put me through I’d suffer more if I resented you—”
Nezami Ganjavi, Layli and Majnun

Megan Nolan
“One of the saddest things to feel is that nothing in the world is new, that you have exhausted all your interactions with it. [...] And then, whenever I fall in love, everything is made new, including myself. My body, my brain, the way I see the simplest things. And the best part is it doesn't even have to be the first time to work. If I fuck it up once, the next time works just as well.”
Megan Nolan, Acts of Desperation
tags: ennui, love

Ivan Turgenev
“Weak people never put an end to things themselves. They always wait for the end.”
Ivan Turgenev, Spring Torrents

Gustave Flaubert
“Before her marriage she had thought that she had love within her grasp; but since the happiness which she had expected this love to bring her hadn’t come, she supposed she must have been mistaken. And Emma tried to imagine just what was meant, in life, by the words “bliss,” “passion,” and “rapture” - words that had seemed so beautiful to her in books.”
Gustave Flaubert, Madame Bovary

Nizami Ganjavi
“Whatever befalls us has its meaning; though it is often hard to grasp. In the Book of Life every page has two sides. On the upper one, we inscribe our plans, dreams and hopes; the reverse is filled by providence, whose verdicts rarely match our desire.”
Nizami Ganjavi, Layla and Majnun
