We accept the love we think we deserve.
“We accept the love we think we deserve.”
Stephen Chbosky, The Perks of Being a Wallflower

“Nikolaj Rostov aveva voltato le spalle e, come in cerca di qualche cosa, aveva spinto lo sguardo in lontananza, sull’acque del Danubio, al cielo, al sole. Come gli era apparso bello il cielo, azzurro, calmo, profondo! Che fulgore e che solennità nel sole che s’abbassava! Con che carezzevole scintillio rilucevano le acque sul lontano Danubio, quei monti che la lontananza inazzurriva, e quel convento, e quelle misteriose ondature di poggi, e quei boschi di pini che la nebbia allagava fino alle vette… Là tutto era quiete, felicità… “Nulla, nulla desidererei, non desidererei proprio nulla, purché mi trovassi là… - pensava Rostov. - In me solo, e in questo sole, c’è tanta felicità, mentre qui … lamenti, sofferenze, terrore, e questa confusione, questa fretta… Ecco che di nuovo gridano qualche cosa, di nuovo tutti sono corsi indietro, e io mi butto a correre con loro: ed ecco lei, ecco lei, la morte, sopra di me, intorno a me… Un attimo, e mai più in eterno io vedro’ questo sole, quest’acque, queste ondature di poggi…”
Lev Tolstoj, Guerra e Pace. Versione integrale

Marlen Haushofer
“But if time exists only in my head, and I'm the last human being, it will end with my death. The thought cheers me. I may be in a position to murder time. The big net will tear and fall, with its sad contents, into oblivion. I'm owed some gratitude, but no one after my death will know I murdered time. Really these thoughts are quite meaningless. Things happen, and, like millions of people before me, I look for meaning in them, because my vanity will not allow me to admit that the whole meaning of an event lies in the event itself.”
Marlen Haushofer, The Wall

Ray Bradbury
“We cannot tell the precise moment when friendship is formed. As in filling a vessel drop by drop, there is at last a drop which makes it run over; so in a series of kindnesses there is at last one which makes the heart run over.”
Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451

William W. Purkey
“You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching,
Love like you'll never be hurt,
Sing like there's nobody listening,
And live like it's heaven on earth.”
William W. Purkey
