“To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never to forget.”
― Arundhati Roy, The Cost of Living

“The pleasure of all reading is doubled when one lives with another who shares the same books.”
― Katherine Mansfield

“If you obey all of the rules, you miss all of the fun.”
― Katharine Hepburn

“It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not.”
― Andre Gide, Autumn Leaves
