Cheryl Strayed
“You cannot convince people to love you. This is an absolute rule. No one will ever give you love because you want him or her to give it. Real love moves freely in both directions. Don’t waste your time on anything else.”
Cheryl Strayed, Tiny Beautiful Things: Advice on Love and Life from Dear Sugar

Rainer Maria Rilke

Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet

Emil M. Cioran
“Man starts over again everyday, in spite of all he knows, against all he knows.”
Emil Cioran

Rebecca Solnit
“We treat desire as a problem to be solved, address what desire is for and focus on that something and how to acquire it rather than on the nature and the sensation of desire, though often it is the distance between us and the object of desire that fills in the space in between with the blue of longing.

Rebecca Solnit, A Field Guide to Getting Lost

Alain de Botton
“Nothing satisfies the man who is not satisfied with a little.”
Alain de Botton, The Consolations of Philosophy
