“When I look at my life and its secret colours, I feel like bursting into tears.”
― Albert Camus, A Happy Death

“Behold yon miserable creature. That Point is a Being like ourselves, but confined to the non-dimensional Gulf. He is himself his own World, his own Universe; of any other than himself he can form no conception; he knows not Length, nor Breadth, nor Height, for he has had no experience of them; he has no cognizance even of the number Two; nor has he a thought of Plurality, for he is himself his One and All, being really Nothing. Yet mark his perfect self-contentment, and hence learn this lesson, that to be self-contented is to be vile and ignorant, and that to aspire is better than to be blindly and impotently happy.”
― Edwin A. Abbott, Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions

“Though sympathy alone can't alter facts, it can help to make them more bearable.”
― Bram Stoker, Dracula
