“You might think you made a new world or a new self, but your old self is always gonna be there, just below the surface, and if something happens, it'll stick its head out and say 'Hi.' You don't seem to realize that. You were made somewhere else.”
― Haruki Murakami, The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle

“I have found both freedom and safety in my madness; the freedom of loneliness and the safety from being understood, for those who understand us enslave something in us.”
― Kahlil Gibran, The Madman

“لي من نفسي صديق يعزيني إذا ما اشتدت خطوب الأيام، ويواسيني عندما تلم مصائب الحياة، ومن لم يكن صديقاً لنفسه كان عدواً للناس، ومن لم ير مؤنساً من ذاته مات قانطاً، لأنّ الحياة تنبثق من داخل الإنسان ولم تجئ مما يحيطوا به.”
― جبران خليل جبران

“You can build walls all the way to the sky and I will find a way to fly above them. You can try to pin me down with a hundred thousand arms, but I will find a way to resist. And there are many of us out there, more than you think. People who refuse to stop believing. People who refuse to come to earth. People who love in a world without walls, people who love into hate, into refusal, against hope, and without fear.

I love you. Remember. They cannot take it.”
― Lauren Oliver, Delirium
