George R.R. Martin
“Never forget what you are, for surely the world will not. Make it your strength. Then it can never be your weakness.”
George R.R. Martin, A Song of Ice and Fire, 5-Book Boxed Set: A Game of Thrones, A Clash of Kings, A Storm of Swords, A Feast for Crows, A Dance with Dragons

“Do you never get exhausted being so wholly unbearable? You have as much charisma as the rotting innards of unidentified roadkill.”
Tahereh Mafi, Ignite Me

Sylvia Plath
“Vi mi vida extendiendo sus ramas frente a mí como la higuera verde del cuento.

De la punta de cada rama, como si de un grueso higo morado se tratara, pendía un maravilloso futuro, señalado y rutilante. Un higo era un marido y un hogar feliz e hijos y otro higo era un famoso poeta, y otro higo era un brillante profesor, y otro higo era Europa y África y Sudamérica y otro higo era Constantino y Sócrates y Atila y un montón de otros amantes con nombres raros y profesionales poco usuales, y otro higo era una campeona de equipo olímpico de atletismo, y más allá y por encima de aquellos higos había muchos más higos que no podía identificar claramente.

Me vi a mí misma sentada en la bifurcación de ese árbol de higos, muriéndome de hambre sólo porque no podía decidir cuál de los higos escoger. Quería todos y cada uno de ellos, pero elegir uno significaba perder el resto, y, mientras yo estaba allí sentada, incapaz de decidirme, los higos empezaron a arrugarse y a tornarse negros y, uno por uno, cayeron al suelo, a mis pies.”
Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar

“There are three things you should know about me, love." He steps forward.
"The first," he says, "is that I hate my father more than you might ever be capable of understanding."
He clears his throat.
"Second, is that I am an unapologetically selfish person, who, in almost every situation, makes decisions based entirely on self-interest. And third." A pause as he looks down. Laughs a little.
"I never had any intention of using you as a weapon.”
Tahereh Mafi, Ignite Me

“Do not fall in love with people like me.
I will take you to museums, and parks, and monuments, and kiss you in every beautiful place, so that you can never go back to them without tasting me like blood in your mouth.
I will destroy you in the most beautiful way possible. And when I leave you will finally understand, why storms are named after people.”
Caitlyn Siehl, Literary Sexts: A Collection of Short & Sexy Love Poems
