“a young woman in love always looks like patience on a monument smiling at grief”
― William Shakespeare, Twelfth Night

“Falling in love is very real, but I used to shake my head when people talked about soul mates, poor deluded individuals grasping at some supernatural ideal not intended for mortals but sounded pretty in a poetry book. Then, we met, and everything changed, the cynic has become the converted, the sceptic, an ardent zealot.”
― E.A. Bucchianeri, Brushstrokes of a Gadfly

“O time, thou must untangle this, not I.
It is too hard a knot for me t'untie.”
― William Shakespeare, Twelfth Night

“No one gives up on something until it turns on them, whether or not that thing is real or unreal.”
― Thomas Ligotti, Teatro Grottesco
