“Love takes off the masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within. I use the word "love" here not merely in the personal sense but as a state of being, or a state of grace - not in the infantile American sense of being made happy but in the tough and universal sense of quest and daring and growth.”
― James Baldwin, The Fire Next Time

“Lovers don't finally meet somewhere. They're in each other all along.”
― Mawlana Jalal-al-Din Rumi

“The truth is rarely pure and never simple.”
― Oscar Wilde, The Importance of Being Earnest

“The mystery of life isn't a problem to solve, but a reality to experience.”
― Frank Herbert, Dune
