E.E. Ottoman
“He was silent for a moment, then said more quietly. 'But I know what you are talking about. I've felt like that before too. To be intimate with someone and feel not right afterward, too vulnerable and too seen.' He took a draw on his cigarette. 'I spend so much of my time not being seen. Explaining and quantifying myself.'

'Making myself small and unseen,' Madeline said. 'Unthreatening and unremarkable.'

'In everything,' Victor agreed. 'So, to not have to do that to be accepted without a fight, it can be almost painful. Getting what you want and not knowing what to do with it. I am good at being hurt and bad at being loved.”
― E.E. Ottoman, The Companion

Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“And so it goes...”
― Kurt Vonnegut, Slaughterhouse-Five

Margaret Atwood
“Men are afraid that women will laugh at them. Women are afraid that men will kill them.”
― Margaret Atwood

Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.”
― Kurt Vonnegut, Mother Night

Kahlil Gibran
“And God said “Love Your Enemy,” and I obeyed him and loved myself.”
― Kahlil Gibran, The Broken Wings
