Hermann Hesse
“Some of us think holding on makes us strong but sometimes it is letting go”
Herman Hesse

“We both instinctively knew never to share weakness until we understood it. 'Share only strength' was an unspoken motto between us.”
Brian Keenan, An Evil Cradling

Ray Bradbury
“Some people turn sad awfully young. No special reason, it seems, but they seem almost to be born that way. They bruise easier, tire faster, cry quicker, remember longer and, as I say, get sadder younger than anyone else in the world. I know, for I'm one of them.”
Ray Bradbury, Dandelion Wine

Margaret Mead
“One of the most dangerous things that can happen to a child is to kill or torture an animal an get away with it.”
Margaret Mead

Zygmunt Bauman
“Desire and love act at cross purposes. love is a net cast on eternity, desire is a stratagem to be spared the chores of net weaving.

True to their nature, love would strive to perpetuate the desire. Desire, on the other hand, would shun love's shackles.”
Zygmunt Bauman, Liquid Love: On the Frailty of Human Bonds
