“I am invisible, understand, simply because people refuse to see me. Like the bodiless heads you see sometimes in circus sideshows, it is as though I have been surrounded by mirrors of hard, distorting glass. When they approach me they see only my surroundings, themselves or figments of their imagination, indeed, everything and anything except me.”
― Ralph Ellison, Invisible Man

“And I asked myself about the present: how wide it was, how deep it was, how much was mine to keep.”
― Kurt Vonnegut, Slaughterhouse-Five

“You don't get heaven or hell. Do you know the only reward you get for being Batman? You get to be Batman.”
― Neil Gaiman, Batman: Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader?

“Don't feel sorry for yourself. Only assholes do that.”
― Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood
