Thus suffering completely fills the human soul and conscious mind, no matter whether the suffering is great or little. Therefore the 'size' of human suffering is absolutely relative.”
― Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning

“Tried living in the real world instead of a shell, but I was bored before I even began.”
― Morrissey

“Beauty is an enormous, unmerited gift given randomly, stupidly.”
― Khaled Hosseini, And the Mountains Echoed
