“To love is to suffer and there can be no love otherwise.”
― Fyodor Dostoevsky, Notes from Underground

“نعم ، هناك أشياء كثيرة أشعر بالخجل منها . أحياناً لا تبدو لي حياتي أكثر من
سلسلة من الندامات ، والانعطافات الخاطئة ، والأخطاء التي لا ُتغتفر . هذه هي
المشكلة عندما تبدأ بالنظر إلى الوراء . إنك ترى نفسك كما كنتَ ، وتشعر
بالرعب .”
― Paul Auster

“The land, now, well I'll tell you how I feel about that. It's done a good job, as good as it was able to, anyway, and it's got a right to look tired. It'd be pretty upsetting if it looked any other way. Yes, and the hardness is all right, too. It's been through something pretty hard, and some of that hardness was bound to rub off. And sometimes a frown sets a lot better with you than a smile. Something that's taken a beating, you don't want to see it laugh. And just because it's stopped laughing doesn't mean it'll never laugh again.”
― Jim Thompson, Cropper's Cabin
