“What do you want from us? The dumb girls are too dumb, the smart girls are too smart, and the average girls are too unexceptional?”
― Cho Nam-Joo, Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982

“I felt like a primitive being who doesn't understand the rhythm of nature. Would it ever be possible to understand human beings? I was just a fistful of cosmic dust that had been given life and wanted to decipher the incomprehensible mysteries of our existence. Light becomes meaningful only from the perspective of darkness. The volcano would begin anew when darkness had covered the city. Perhaps we are able to see the light only after we've experienced the test of darkness.”
― Samuel Isacovici, Juan Manuel Rodriguez

“Aim at their dread of public opinion, at their ambition to be one better than their fellows and their terror of being different-at all the ludicrous weaknesses a well-developed social instinct exposes them to.”
― Aldous Huxley, Antic Hay

“Solitude is never where you are; it is always where you are not, and is only possible with a stranger present; whatever the place or whoever the person, it must be one that is wholly ignorant concerning you, and concerning which or whom you are equally ignorant, so that will and sensation remain suspended and confused in an anxious uncertainty, while with the ceasing of all affirmation on your part, your own inner consciousness ceases at the same time. True solitude is to be found in a place that lives a life of its own, but which for you holds no familiar footprint, speaks in no known voice, and where accordingly the stranger is yourself.”
― Luigi Pirandello, One, No One, and One Hundred Thousand
