N.H. Kleinbaum
“We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for. To quote from Whitman, "O me! O life!... of the questions of these recurring; of the endless trains of the faithless... of cities filled with the foolish; what good amid these, O me, O life?" Answer. That you are here - that life exists, and identity; that the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse. That the powerful play *goes on* and you may contribute a verse. What will your verse be?”
N.H. Kleinbaum, Dead Poets Society

Erich Fromm
“People do not see that the main question is not : "Am I loved?" which is to a large extent the question : "Am I approved of? Am I protected? Am I admired?" The main question is: "Can I love?”
Erich Fromm, Love, Sexuality and Matriarchy: About Gender

Andrzej Sapkowski
“Lesser, greater, middling, it's all the same. Proportions are negotiated, boundaries blurred. I'm not a pious hermit, I haven't done only good in my life. But if I'm to choose between one evil and another, then I prefer not to choose at all.”
Andrzej Sapkowski, The Last Wish

Irvin D. Yalom
“Mature love is loving, not being loved.”
Irvin D. Yalom, Existential Psychotherapy

Honoré de Balzac
“Our worst misfortunes never happen, and most miseries lie in anticipation.”
Honoré de Balzac
