“There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society, where none intrudes,
By the deep Sea, and music in its roar:
I love not Man the less, but Nature more,
From these our interviews, in which I steal
From all I may be, or have been before,
To mingle with the Universe, and feel
What I can ne’er express, yet cannot all conceal.”
― Lord Byron, Childe Harold's Pilgrimage

“Give a man a mask and he’ll tell you the truth.”
― Oscar Wilde

“Never depend on another person for your happiness. If someone had the authority to give, then he or she had the authority to take away.”
― Sejal Badani, Trail of Broken Wings
