“Young people get the foolish idea that what is new for them must be new for everybody else too. No matter how unconventional they get, they're just repeating what others before them have done.”
― Yukio Mishima, After the Banquet

“Isolation offered its own form of companionship”
― Jhumpa Lahiri, The Lowland

“उपदेश—अगर चाहते हो कि कोई तुम्हें हमेशा याद रखे, तो उसके दिल में प्यार पैदा करने का झंझट न उठाओ । उसका कोई स्केंडल मुट्ठी में रखो । वह सपने में भी प्रेमिका के बाद तुम्हारा चेहरा देखेगा ।”
― Harishankar Parsai, निठल्ले की डायरी

“I choose to love you in silence…
For in silence I find no rejection,

I choose to love you in loneliness…
For in loneliness no one owns you but me,

I choose to adore you from a distance…
For distance will shield me from pain,

I choose to kiss you in the wind…
For the wind is gentler than my lips,

I choose to hold you in my dreams…
For in my dreams, you have no end.”
― Rumi
