“i can’t shape my shame into an answer on the spot.”
― silas denver melvin, GRIT: a poetry collection

“Hateful day when I received life!' I exclaimed in agony. 'Accursed creator! Why did you form a monster so hideous that even you turned from me in disgust? God, in pity, made man beautiful and alluring, after his own image; but my form is a filthy type of yours, more horrid even from the very resemlance. Satan had his companions, fellow-devils, to admire and encourage him; but I am solitary and abhorred.' - Frankenstein”
― Mary Shelley, Frankenstein

“You come to the sobering realization that things will never stop from keep happening constantly”
― Andrew Hussie, Homestuck

“He said to me once that one could never know anything except through desire, real desire, which was not the same thing as greed or lust; a pure, painful
and primitive desire, a longing for everything that was not in oneself, a torment of the flesh, that carried one beyond the limits of one’s mind to other times and other places, and even, if one was lucky, to a place where there was no border between oneself and one’s image in the mirror.”
― Amitav Ghosh, The Shadow Lines
