“Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. ELIE WIESEL”

“I am unable to understand those who do love me in spite of it all, and so I test them. ‘You love me even when I do this? Or this? Or this?’ Even when the other person forgives me, I am unable to understand their forgiveness, and when they give up on me, I torture and console myself with the ‘fact’ that no one could ever love me. That”
― Baek Se-hee, I Want to Die but I Want to Eat Tteokbokki

“I am often given the big smiling handshake at parties (which I avoid attending whenever possible) by someone who then, with an air of gleeful conspiracy, will say, “You know, I've always wanted to write.” I used to try to be polite. These days I reply with the same jubilant excitement: “You know, I've always wanted to be a brain surgeon.” They look puzzled. It doesn't matter. There are a lot of puzzled people wandering around lately. If you want to write, you write. The only way to learn to write is by writing. And that would not be a useful approach to brain surgery.”
― Stephen King, Night Shift
