“We aren’t who we want to be. We are what society demands. We are what our parents choose. We don’t want to disappoint anyone; we have a great need to be loved. So we smother the best in us. Gradually, the light of our dreams turns into the monster of our nightmares. They become things not done, possibilities not lived.”
― Paulo Coelho, Adultery

― Charles Bukowski, You Get So Alone at Times That it Just Makes Sense

“I really don't have the time to discuss the errors of your value judgements.”
― john kennedy toole, A Confederacy of Dunces

“Today I am a woman torn between the terror that everything might change and the equal terror that everything might carry on exactly the same for the rest of my days.”
