“We move through the world in a narrow groove, preoccupied with the petty things we see and hear, brooding over our prejudices, passing by the joys of life without even knowing that we have missed anything. Never for a moment do we taste the heady wine of freedom. We are as truly imprisoned as if we lay at the bottom of a dungeon, heaped with chains.”
― Steve Hagen, Buddhism Plain and Simple: The Practice of Being Aware Right Now, Every Day

“A boy who is trouble is something entirely different as a man.”

“Catherine Earnshaw, may you not rest as long as I am living! You said I killed you - haunt me, then! The murdered haunt their murderers. I believe - I know that ghosts wandered on earth. Be with me always - take any form - drive me mad! only not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you! Oh, God! it is unutterable! I live without my life! I live without my soul!”
― Emily Brontë, Wuthering Heights

“The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid.”
― Jane Austen, Northanger Abbey
