“I wonder what kind of upbringing is worse for a human. The kind where you’re sheltered and loved to the point that you aren’t aware of how cruel the world can be until it’s too late to acquire the necessary coping skills, or the kind of household I grew up in. The ugliest version of a family, where coping is the only thing you learn.”

― John Green, Turtles All the Way Down

“Forgive me, for all the things I did but mostly for the ones that I did not.”
― Donna Tartt, The Secret History

“The man who let the love of his life pass him by will end up alone with his regrets and all the sighs in the world won't soothe his soul.”
― Yasmina Khadra
