“There is a kind of crying I hope you have not experienced, and it is not just crying about something terrible that has happened, but a crying for all of the terrible things that have happened, not just to you but to everyone you know and to everyone you don’t know and even the people you don’t want to know, a crying that cannot be diluted by a brave deed or a kind word, but only by someone holding you as your shoulders shake and your tears run down your face.”
― Lemony Snicket, The End

“And they made Alice drink something from a bottle which reduced her to a size where she could no longer cry 'Curiouser and curiouser,' and they gave the Looking Glass one hammer blow to smash it and every Red King and Oyster away!”
― Ray Bradbury, The Martian Chronicles

“My heart is beating like it's lonely, like there's nothing else inside of me.”
― Junot Díaz, This Is How You Lose Her

“Know that in this world there's somebody who will always love you.”
― Junot Díaz, The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao
