“I used to think soul mates were two of the same. I used to think I was supposed to look for somebody that was like me. I don't believe in soul mates anymore and I'm not looking for anything.

― Taylor Jenkins Reid , Daisy Jones & The Six

“Why does everyone expect something of me that they don't expect of others? Why should I take what no one else takes, and invite burdens that no one else can bear?"

"I'm seeking a burden?"
"Yes."
"You... saw that?"
"Yes.”
― Fyodor Dostoevsky; Translator-Richard Pevear; Translator-Larissa Volokhonsky
