Charles Bukowski
“Now something so sad has hold of us that the breath leaves and we can't even cry.”
Charles Bukowski, You Get So Alone at Times That it Just Makes Sense

Marc Maron
“Everyone is a little bitter. We're born bitter. The personality itself is really just a very complex defense mechanism. A reaction to the first time someone said, "No you can't.”
Marc Maron, Attempting Normal

Jasinda Wilder
“It wasn't supposed to. It was just supposed to stop you from hurting yourself.” “It helps—” “No it doesn't. It just pushes it away temporarily. Just like the booze.” “But I need—” “You need to let yourself feel. Feel it, own it. Then move on.” “You make it sound so easy.” Bitterness drips from each syllable. “It’s not. It’s the fucking hardest thing a person can do.” I smooth a damp strand out of her face and away from my mouth. “It’s the hardest fucking thing. It’s why we drink and do drugs and fight. It’s why I play music and build engines.”
Jasinda Wilder, Falling Into You

Muriel Barbery
“We can be friends. We can be anything we want to be.”
Muriel Barbery, The Elegance of the Hedgehog

Muriel Barbery
“For the first time in my life I understood the meaning of the word 'never'. And it's really awful. You say the word a hundred times a day but you don't really know what you're saying until you're faced with a real 'never again'.”
Muriel Barbery, The Elegance of the Hedgehog
