“Tonight I can write the saddest lines
I loved her, and sometimes she loved me too.”
― Pablo Neruda, Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair

“Sad sam shvatio: to je prijateljstvo, ljubav prema drugome. Sve drugo može da prevari to ne može.
Sve drugo može da izmakne i ostavi nas puste, to ne može, jer zavisi od nas.
Ne mogu da mu kažem: budi mi prijatelj. Ali mogu da kažem, biću ti prijatelj.
Ali, bilo ovako ili onako, u njegovo prijateljstvo nisam mogao sumnjati. Zavolio sam ga, znam po tome što mi je postao potreban,
što nisam zamjerio ničemu ma šta da je rekao ili učinio, i što mi je sve njegovo postalo važno.
Ljubav je valjda jedina stvar na svijetu koju ne treba objašnjavati ni tražiti joj razloge.
Pa ipak to činim, makar samo zato da još jednom pomenem čovjeka koji je unio toliko radosti u moj život.
Pitao sam ga jednom, kako to da je baš meni poklonio svoje prijateljstvo. Prijateljstvo se ne bira, ono biva ko zna zbog čega kao ljubav.

A ništa ja nisam poklonio tebi već sebi.”
― Meša Selimović

“The worst type of crying wasn't the kind everyone could see--the wailing on street corners, the tearing at clothes. No, the worst kind happened when your soul wept and no matter what you did, there was no way to comfort it. A section withered and became a scar on the part of your soul that survived. For people like me and Echo, our souls contained more scar tissue than life.”
― Katie McGarry, Pushing the Limits

“But when she was scared, she was a child again, and she was more afraid of being a child again than anything else in her life.”
― Tamsyn Muir, Harrow the Ninth
