“... the feeling that you’re not so much living your life as just trying to push through it won’t last forever. Someday you’ll be able to breathe.”
― Mackenzi Lee, The Nobleman's Guide to Scandal and Shipwrecks

“Strength is weakness and weakness is strength, these are one and the same. Push one's strength beyond a point, and it will become the cause of his destruction. Similarly, the strength of a person lies in his weakness. Push weakness beyond a point, and it becomes his strength”
― Samarpan, Kratu: A Novel

“Luxury of freedom hates the discipline of knowledge”
― Samarpan, Kratu: A Novel

“My soul is so heavy that no longer can any thought sustain it, no wingbeat lift it up into the ether. If it moves, it only sweeps along the ground like the low flight of birds when a thunderstorm is brewing.”
― Søren Kierkegaard, Either/Or: A Fragment of Life
