“The more I think about things, the more I see no rhyme or reason in life. no one knows why some things work out and some things don't. Why some of us are lucky and some of us get...”

“There are times when I am convinced I am unfit for any human relationship.”
― Franz Kafka, Letters to Felice

“I imagined a labyrinth of labyrinths, a maze of mazes, a twisting, turning, ever-widening labyrinth that contained both past and future and somehow implied the stars. Absorbed in those illusory imaginings, I forgot that I was a pursued man; I felt myself, for an indefinite while, the abstract perceiver of the world. The vague, living countryside, the moon, the remains of the day did their work in me; so did the gently downward road, which forestalled all possibility of weariness. The evening was near, yet infinite.”
― Jorge Luis Borges, Ficciones

“Duniya ke mehfilon se ukta gaya hoon ya Rab
Kya lutf anjuman ka , jab dil hi bujh gaya ho
Shorish se bhagta hoon, dil dhoondta hai mera
Aisa sukoot jis pe taqreer bhi fida ho

I am weary of worldly gatherings, O Lord
What pleasure in them, when the light in my heart is gone?
From the clamour of crowds I flee, my heart seeks
The kind of silence that would mesmerize speech itself”
― Arundhati Roy, The Ministry of Utmost Happiness
