“There are many types of monsters that scare me: Monsters who cause trouble without showing themselves, monsters who abduct children, monsters who devour dreams, monsters who suck blood... and then, monsters who tell nothing but lies. Lying monsters are a real nuisance: They are much more cunning than others. They pose as humans even though they have no understanding of the human heart; they eat even though they've never experienced hunger; they study even though they have no interest in academics; they seek friendship even though they do not know how to love. If I were to encounter such monsters, I would likely be eaten by them... because in truth, I am that monster.”
― L Lawliet

“لا خجل من الضعف إذا المرء عليه انتصر و ما معنى القوة إذا لم تستو فوق خلجات الخور. فانهل من رحيق الحياة السامي النابع من علو الهمم”
― نجيب محفوظ, الحرافيش

“I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity.”
― Edgar Allan Poe

“Above all, don't lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love.”
― Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov
