“Don't lies eventually lead to the truth? And don't all my stories, true or false, tend toward the same conclusion? Don't they all have the same meaning? So what does it matter whether they are true or false if, in both cases, they are significant of what I have been and what I am? Sometimes it is easier to see clearly into the liar than into the man who tells the truth. Truth, like light, blinds. Falsehood, on the contrary, is a beautiful twilight that enhances every object.”
― Albert Camus, The Fall

“I want to spend my time with people who don't look to be respected. But such good people won't want to spend their time with me.”
― Osamu Dazai, The Setting Sun

“Silence, I discover, is something you can actually hear.”
― Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore

“Of course, true love is exceptional - two or three times a century, more or less. The rest of the time there is vanity or boredom.”
― Albert Camus, The Fall
