“The reduction of the universe to the compass of a single being, and the extension of a single being until it reaches God - that is love.

How sad is the heart when rendered sad by love!
How great is the void created by the absence of the being who alone fills the world.”
― Victor Hugo

“There is a defiance in being a dreamer”
― V.E. Schwab, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue

“There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.”
― William Shakespear, Hamlet
