“Δεν με παρηγορούσε όμως και πολύ το να κατηγορώ τη Θέλμα και τον Χάρρυ ή να θρηνώ την αδυναμία του ανθρώπινου πλάσματος - αυτού του αδύναμου φασματικού πλάσματος που είναι αδύνατο να επιζήσει χωρίς την αυταπάτη, χωρίς τη μαγεία, χωρίς τα απλοϊκά όνειρα και τα ζωτικά ψεύδη. Είχε έρθει η ώρα να δω την αλήθεια: τα 'χα κάνει θάλασσα μ' αυτό το περιστατικό, πέρα από κάθε προσδοκία, κι αυτό δεν μπορούσα να το προσάψω στην ασθενή, ούτε στον άντρα της ή στην ανθρώπινη μοίρα.”
― Irvin D. Yalom, Love's Executioner and Other Tales of Psychotherapy

“«Μη ζητάς συγχώρεση, όταν αυτό που θες είναι εκδίκηση.»”
― Γιώργος Κωστόπουλος, John Smith: Αναπαυτής

“It happens like this.

"One day you meet someone and for some inexplicable reason, you feel more connected to this stranger than anyone else--closer to them than your closest family. Perhaps this person carries within them an angel--one sent to you for some higher purpose; to teach you an important lesson or to keep you safe during a perilous time. What you must do is trust in them--even if they come hand in hand with pain or suffering--the reason for their presence will become clear in due time."

Though here is a word of warning--you may grow to love this person but remember they are not yours to keep. Their purpose isn't to save you but to show you how to save yourself. And once this is fulfilled; the halo lifts and the angel leaves their body as the person exits your life. They will be a stranger to you once more.

It's so dark right now, I can't see any light around me.
That's because the light is coming from you. You can't see it but everyone else can.”
― Lang Leav, Love & Misadventure

“I address you all tonight for who you truly are: wizards, mermaids, travelers, adventurers, and magicians. You are the true dreamers.”
― Brian Selznick, The Invention of Hugo Cabret
