“A sea roared inside her and made demands, but she waded it, she bobbed up, took a breath, and opened her eyes to the cold winter morning. Then she rose because the day was there, the world was there, and she wanted to be part of it.”
― Silvia Moreno-Garcia, The Beautiful Ones

“The feelings that hurt most, the emotions that sting most, are those that are absurd - The longing for impossible things, precisely because they are impossible; nostalgia for what never was; the desire for what could have been; regret over not being someone else; dissatisfaction with the world’s existence. All these half-tones of the soul’s consciousness create in us a painful landscape, an eternal sunset of what we are.”
― Fernando Pessoa

“To love and be loved was more than could ever be expected, more than enough for a thousand ordinary lifetimes.”
― Chris Whitaker, All the Colors of the Dark

“I was never aware of any other option but to question everything.”
― Noam Chomsky
