“Who would you be but who you are?”
― Terry Brooks, The Black Unicorn

“Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind; And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind. Nor hath love's mind of any judgment taste; Wings and no eyes figure unheedy haste: And therefore is love said to be a child, Because in choice he is so oft beguil'd.”
― William Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night’s Dream

“Some say life is the thing, but I prefer reading.”
― Ruth Rendell, A Judgement in Stone

“Friendship is certainly the finest balm for the pangs of disappointed love.”
― Jane Austen
