“The egotist in the absolute sense is not the man who sacrifices others. He is the man who stands above the need of using others in any manner. He does not function through them. He is not concerned with them in any primary matter. Not in his aim, not in his motive, not in his thinking, not in his desires, not in the source of his energy. He does not exist for any other man—and he asks no other man to exist for him.”
― Ayn Rand, The Fountainhead

“I want God to play in my bloodstream the way sunlight amuses itself on the water.”
― Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love

“You can't hurry love, as the song goes. You can't hurry grief either.”
― Sigrid Nunez, The Friend

“¡Caer! ¡Estoy cayendo! Mientras me río, no sé por qué, me siento impura. Cuando lloro, no sé por qué, me siento yo y me purifico. ¡Cómo sufro! Mi alma es un trozo amorfo, blanquecino y lloroso...”
― Alejandra Pizarnik, Diarios
