― Alain de Botton, On Love

“We don't realize that, somewhere within us all, there does exist a supreme self who is eternally at peace.”

“Early in life, the world divides crudely into those who have had sex and those who haven't. Later, into those who have known love, and those who haven't. Later still - at least, if we are lucky (or, on the other hand, unlucky) - it divides into those who have endured grief, and those who haven't. These divisions are absolute; they are tropics we cross.”
― Julian Barnes, Levels of Life
