“I'd never thought about what my favorite color was before. It never seemed important.
Not until I looked into a pair of ocean blue eyes and realized that perhaps drowning was a beautiful thing.
Not until I looked into a pair of fiery blue eyes and realized that perhaps burning was a painless thing.
Not until I looked into a pair of sky blue eyes and realized that perhaps falling was a peaceful thing.
I'd never thought about what my favorite color was before because I hadn't seen one that was worthy of the title. Until now, that is.
"Blue," I say, my voice low.”
― Lauren Roberts, Powerless

“Hope that you are not the Sadness’s home, anywhere you go, no matter how far, no matter how quickly—the Sadness lives in you. Hope to God it’s not that.”
― Raphael Bob-Waksberg, Someone Who Will Love You in All Your Damaged Glory

“Der Mensch ist zu einer beschränkten Lage geboren; einfache, nahe, bestimmte Zwecke vermag er einzusehen {...}; sobald er aber ins Weite kommt, weiß er weder, was er will, noch was er soll.”
― Goethe Johann Wolfgang, Wilhelm Meisters Wonderjahre / Ein Novellenkranz

“For some reason I had this idea that I was really special and that I was put here to do something really great and important, but the longer I kept living the more it just seemed like nope, I’m just kind of a normal person just like everybody else.”
