“No poet, no artist of any art, has his complete meaning alone. His significance, his appreciation is the appreciation of his relation to the dead poets and artists. You cannot value him alone; you must set him, for contrast and comparison, among the dead. I mean this as a principle of aesthetic, not merely historical, criticism.”
― T.S. Eliot, The Sacred Wood

“No matter how well you know someone, there's still a part of them you won't. You can't. Like, ever.”
― Rick Yancey, The Last Star

“It's like your sadness is so deep and overwhelming that you're worried it will drown everyone else on your life if you let them too close to it.”
