“Your task is not to seek for love but merely to seek & find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.”
― Rumi

“I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practice resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms, and, if it proved to be mean, why then to get the whole and genuine meanness of it, and publish its meanness to the world; or if it were sublime, to know it by experience, and be able to give a true account of it in my next excursion.”
― Henry David Thoreau

“El presente y el pasado de mi familia se partieron ahí, con la devastadora muerte de Marta, y el futuro ya no volvería a ser el mismo para ninguno de nosotros. Digamos que ya no fue posible para nadie volver a ser plenamente feliz, ni siquiera por momentos, porque en el mismo instante en el que nos mirábamos en un rato de felicidad, sabíamos que alguien faltaba, que no estábamos completos, y que entonces no teníamos derecho a estar alegres, porque ya no podía existir la plenitud.”
― Héctor Abad Faciolince, El olvido que seremos

“Cada suspiro es como un sorbo de vida del que uno se deshace.”
― Juan Rulfo, Pedro Páramo
