“We write to heighten our own awareness of life. We write to lure and enchant and console others. We write to serenade our lovers. We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospection. We write, like Proust, to render all of it eternal, and to persuade ourselves that it is eternal. We write to be able to transcend our life, to reach beyond it. We write to teach ourselves to speak with others, to record the journey into the labyrinth. We write to expand our world when we feel strangled, or constricted, or lonely...When I don’t write, I feel my world shrinking. I feel I am in prison. I feel I lose my fire and my color. It should be a necessity, as the sea needs to heave, and I call it breathing.”
― Anaïs Nin

“Y Sadie... todo sirve a un propósito. Nos lo enseñaste tú. Nosotros elegimos creer en la Maat. Creamos orden a partir del caos, belleza y sentido a partir del feo azar. En eso consiste Egipto. Por eso su nombre, su ren, sobrevive a los milenios. Si nos desesperamos, triunfa el caos.”
― Rick Riordan, The Red Pyramid

“Ser sincero en todo momento debe requerir valor. Yo no sabría hacerlo.”
― Veronica Roth, Divergent

“It is both a blessing
And a curse
To feel everything
So very deeply.”
― David Jones
