“…in that moment, as he saw and smelled how irresistible its effect was and how with lightning speed it spread and made captives of the people all around him—in that moment his whole disgust for humankind rose up again within him and completely soured his triumph, so that he felt not only no joy, but not even the least bit of satisfaction. What he had always longed for—that other people should love him—became at the moment of his achievement unbearable, because he did not love them himself, he hated them. And suddenly he knew that he had never found gratification in love, but always only in hatred—in hating and in being hated.”
― Patrick Süskind, Perfume: The Story of a Murderer

“Sometimes men want what they don't have because they don't have it. Even if everyone offered to share, they would only want the share that wasn't theirs.”
― Helene Wecker, The Golem and the Jinni

“What really knocks me out is a book that, when you're all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it. That doesn't happen much, though.”
― J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye

“ბედნიერია ვინც, სასარგებლოსა და სასიამოვნოს შორის 'ზღვარის" დადებას მოახერხებს.
სასარგებლოს - პატივისცემა, დახმარება, სასიამოვნოს -სიყვარული, თაყვანისცემა.
რათ მინდა პატივისცემა, თვით ცაც რათ მინდა, თუ სიყვარული თან არ დაჰყვება.”
― ნიკო ლორთქიფანიძე
