― Franz Kafka, Letters to Milena

“You weren't the perfect father but that's okay because -- probably nobody's a perfect father. No family's perfect, either. I was lucky. I was privileged. Not because of the big house and the money, but because you gave me a lot of yourself. You taught me, you showed me, you encouraged me -- you never lied to me and you never demanded that I be anything I’m not. I didn’t imitate you because you insisted that I do so, but because I wanted to. Of all the men I knew, you were most worthy of imitation. Then I blamed you for letting me be who I was. Pretty dumb. You and Alfred gave me a home and you gave me what we don't mention. The L word. You were the best family I could have had. Thanks.”
― Dennis O'Neill, Nightwing (1995) #4

“—(…) Pero sí que llevabas razón en otra cosa: tengo sentimientos que no quiero tener. Porque sigo queriéndote. Y no te lo mereces. Nunca te has merecido que te quisiera, Jennifer Nunca te lo merecerás. Pero soy lo suficientemente idiota como para seguir haciéndolo toda mi vida.”
― Joana Marcús, Después de diciembre

“I felt a familiar squeezing in what I thought must be my heart. I had heard of being "heartbroken" or "heavy-hearted" but I had never known it was an actual sensation one felt when the whole world abandons you”
― Robin Hobb, Assassin's Fate
