John Milton
“Freely we serve
Because we freely love, as in our will
To love or not; in this we stand or fall.”
John Milton

Arthur Miller
“Will you let me go for Christ's sake? Will you take that phony dream and burn it before something happens?”
Arthur Miller, Death of a Salesman

Hanya Yanagihara
“He took pleasure in his friendships, and it didn’t hurt anyone, so who cared if it was codependent or not? And anyway, how was a friendship any more codependent than a relationship? Why was it admirable when you were twenty-seven but creepy when you were thirty-seven? Why wasn’t friendship as good as a relationship? Why wasn’t it even better? It was two people who remained together, day after day, bound not by sex or physical attraction or money or children or property, but only by the shared agreement to keep going, the mutual dedication to a union that could never be codified. Friendship was witnessing another’s slow drip of miseries, and long bouts of boredom, and occasional triumphs. It was feeling honored by the privilege of getting to be present for another person’s most dismal moments, and knowing that you could be dismal”
Hanya Yanagihara, A Little Life

Leo Tolstoy
“At the advent of danger there are always two voices that speak with equal force in the human heart: one very reasonably invites a man to consider the nature of the peril and the means of escaping it; the other, with a still greater show of reason, argues that it is too depressing and painful to think of the danger since it is not in man's power to foresee everything and avert the general march of events, and it is better therefore to shut one's eyes to the disagreeable until it actually comes, and to think instead of what is pleasant. When a man is alone he generally listens to the first voice; in the company of his fellow-men, to the second.”
Leo Tolstoy, War and Peace

Charles Dickens
“Come! Let us make that bargain. Think of me at my best, if circumstances should ever part us!”
Charles Dickens, David Copperfield
