“Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you, yet they belong not to you.”
― Gibran Khalil Gibran

“I don’t know how much
longer I can keep going without a friend. I used to be able to do it very easily,
but that was before I knew what having a friend was like. It’s much easier not
to know things sometimes. And to have french fries with your mom be
enough.”
― Stephen Chbosky, The Perks of Being a Wallflower

“People are very fond of giving away what they need most themselves. It is what I call the depth of generosity.”
― Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

“You die, O thrice desired,
And my desire has flown like a dream.
Gone with you is the girdle of my beauty,
But I myself must live who am a goddess
And may not follow you.
Kiss me yet once again, the last, long kiss,
Until I draw your soul within my lips
And drink down all your love.”
― Edith Hamilton, Mythology
