“God was invented by the lonely people, by those who could not bear to think that no one would ever care about them, spend a thought on their loneliness. We are not chosen, what we are is terribly lonely and unloved.

― Aleksandar Hemon, The World and All That It Holds

“After the drama, he had to live in the tragedy.”

“Remember that I have power; you believe yourself miserable, but I can make you so wretched that the light of day will be hateful to you. You are my creator, but I am your master;--obey!”
― Mary Shelley, Frankenstein
