“Of course, I love you,' the flower said to him. 'If you were not aware of it, it was my fault.”
― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince

“The more sand that has escaped from the hourglass of our life, the clearer we should see through it.”

“So that's how we live our lives. No matter how deep and fatal the loss, no matter how important the thing that's stolen from us--that's snatched right out of our hands--even if we are left completely changed, with only the outer layer of skin from before, we continue to play out our lives this way, in silence. We draw ever nearer to the end of our allotted span of time, bidding it farewell as it trails off behind. Repeating, often adroitly, the endless deeds of the everyday. Leaving behind a feeling of immeasurable emptiness.”
― Haruki Murakami, Sputnik Sweetheart

“You are willing to die, you coward, but not to live.”
― Herman Hesse, Steppenwolf
