“These violent delights have violent ends
And in their triumph die, like fire and powder,
Which as they kiss consume. The sweetest honey
Is loathsome in his own deliciousness
And in the taste confounds the appetite.
Therefore love moderately; long love doth so;
Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.”
― William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet

“Beauty is rarely soft or consolatory. Quite the contrary. Genuine beauty is always quite alarming.”
― Donna Tartt, The Secret History

“I’ve learned that home isn’t a place, it’s a feeling.”
― Cecelia Ahern, Love, Rosie

“Look like the innocent flower,
But be the serpent under it.”
― William Shakespeare, Macbeth
