“Above all, avoid lying, especially lying to yourself. Keep watching out for your lies, watch for them every hour, every minute. Also avoid disgust, both for others and yourself: whatever strikes you as disgusting within yourself is cleansed by the mere fact that you notice it.

Avoid fear, too, although fear is really only a consequence of lies. Never be afraid of your petty selfishness when you try to achieve love and don’t be too alarmed if you act badly on occasion.”
― Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Brothers Karamazov

“Sometimes being offered tenderness feels like the very proof that you've been ruined.”
― Ocean Vuong, On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous

“الجمالُ الحزين له وقع علي القلب أشد من وقع الجمال الضاحك”
― Leo Tolstoy, آنا کارينينا

“I hope it’s love. I’m trying really hard
to make it love.”
― Richard Siken, War of the Foxes
