“The only thing worse than a boy who hates you: a boy that loves you.”
― Markus Zusak, The Book Thief

“You love me. Real or not real?"
I tell him, "Real.”
― Suzanne Collins, Mockingjay

“Pulvis et umbra sumus. It's a line from Horace. 'We are dust and shadows'. Appropriate, don't you think?" Will said. "It's not a long life, killing demons; one tends to die young, and then they burn your body - dust to dust, in the literal sense. And then we vanish into the shadows of history, nary a mark on the page of a mundane book to remind the world that once we existed at all.”
― Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Angel

“Perhaps one did not want to be loved so much as to be understood.”
― George Orwell, 1984
