George R.R. Martin
“Death is so terribly final, while life is full of possibilities.”
George R.R. Martin, A Game of Thrones

W. Somerset Maugham
“I have noticed that when I am most serious people are apt to laugh at me, and indeed when after a lapse of time I have read passages that I wrote from the fullness of my heart I have been tempted to laugh at myself. It must be that there is something naturally absurd in a sincere emotion, though why there should be I cannot imagine, unless it is that man, the ephemeral inhabitant of an insignificant planet, with all his pain and all his striving is but a jest in an eternal mind.”
W. Somerset Maugham, Cakes and Ale

George R.R. Martin
“The things we love destroy us every time, lad. Remember that.”
George R.R. Martin, A Game of Thrones

Ruby Granger
“remember that you can find friends: remember that there are people similar to you. All you have to do is look up.”
Ruby Granger, Erimentha Parker's To Do List: A Bullying Story

Ivan Bunin
“Words are one thing, deeds are quite another.”
Ivan Bunin
