“It's like, when someone asks you how you are and even though you want to say that you feel like shit, that you're miserable, that you cry until you gag and spend most of your time imagining ways to kill yourself, instead you just say, 'Fine, thanks.”
― Aryn Kyle, Boys and Girls Like You and Me: Stories

“I love you, with a touch of tragedy and quite madly.”
― Simone de Beauvoir, Letters to Sartre

“Strings
Some people are made like the string of a kite, loose and free, like a bird riding the wind. Some people are made like the hard, brittle rope of a mountaineer, strong, steady, infallible. And then there are the ones who are like the strings of a violin, delicate and ethereal. Strung tight and taut, ready to snap. But when they sing, there is no other sound more haunting or beautiful.”
― Lang Leav, Sea of Strangers

“يا لغرابة الرجال ! يقضون العمر في القتال ضد الكهنة. ثم يقدمون كتب الصلوات هدية.”
― Gabriel Garcí­a Márquez
