“That is, the full impact of our brother's or sister's death begins to seep into our consciousness at precisely the same time when others might expect us to be feeling better.”
― T.J. Wray, Surviving the Death of a Sibling: Living Through Grief When an Adult Brother or Sister Dies

“To lose a sibling is to lose the one different from you. There’s no one now against whom to say: But I am like this. I am this.”

“I’m tired of living in hatred and resentment. I’m tired of living unable to love anyone. I don’t have a single friend—not one. And, worst of all, I can’t even love myself. Why is that? Why can’t I love myself? It’s because I can’t love anyone else. A person learns how to love himself through the simple acts of loving and being loved by someone else. Do you understand what I am saying? A person who is incapable of loving another cannot properly love himself. No, I’m not blaming you for this. Come to think of it, you may be such a victim. You probably don’t know how to love yourself. Am I wrong about that?”
― Haruki Murakami, 1Q84

“Napoleon’s definition of a military genius was, “The man who can do the average thing when all those around him are going crazy.”
