“Human beings are funny. They long to be with the person they love but refuse to admit openly. Some are afraid to show even the slightest sign of affection because of fear. Fear that their feelings may not be recognized, or even worst, returned. But one thing about human beings puzzles me the most is their conscious effort to be connected with the object of their affection even if it kills them slowly within.”
― Sigmund Freud

“An inability to meet the real demands of love is one of the essential characteristics of neurosis; the patients are dominated by the opposition of reality and fantasy. They will flee from what they long for most intensely in their fantasies if they encounter it in real life, and they are most likely to abandon themselves to fantasies when they no longer need to fear their realization.”
― Sigmund Freud, A Case of Hysteria: Dora

It’s like having a broken leg that never heals perfectly—that still hurts when the weather gets cold, but you learn to dance with the limp.”
― Anne Lamott

“Vučemo se kao bolesni psi uz plotove tuđih sreća, tuđeg smijeha… Zalajemo sami u noći. Gledamo sumnjičavo, razroko, na obje strane života, oprezno. Otrovani. Osakaćeni za toplinu nekog dodira, za mirise cvijeća, za proljeća, za jutra, za buđenja, za smisao hodanja, gibanja… Kamo? Otrovani. Otrovani. Otrovani.”
― Ranko Marinković, Kiklop

“I'm not strange, weird, off, nor crazy, my reality is just different from yours.”
― Lewis Carroll

“You think because he doesn't love you that you are worthless. You think that because he doesn't want you anymore that he is right -- that his judgement and opinion of you are correct. If he throws you out, then you are garbage. You think he belongs to you because you want to belong to him. Don't. It's a bad word, 'belong.' Especially when you put it with somebody you love. Love shouldn't be like that. Did you ever see the way the clouds love a mountain? They circle all around it; sometimes you can't even see the mountain for the clouds. But you know what? You go up top and what do you see? His head. The clouds never cover the head. His head pokes through, beacuse the clouds let him; they don't wrap him up. They let him keep his head up high, free, with nothing to hide him or bind him. You can't own a human being. You can't lose what you don't own. Suppose you did own him. Could you really love somebody who was absolutely nobody without you? You really want somebody like that? Somebody who falls apart when you walk out the door? You don't, do you? And neither does he. You're turning over your whole life to him. Your whole life, girl. And if it means so little to you that you can just give it away, hand it to him, then why should it mean any more to him? He can't value you more than you value yourself.”
― Toni Morrison

Anyone can love a thing because. That's as easy as putting a penny in your pocket. But to love something despite. To know the flaws and love them too. That is rare and pure and perfect.”
― Patrick Rothfuss, The Wise Man's Fear

“He was part of my dream, of course -- but then I was part of his dream, too.”
― Lewis Carroll

“I wonder if I've been changed in the night. Let me think. Was I the same when I got up this morning? I almost think I can remember feeling a little different. But if I'm not the same, the next question is 'Who in the world am I?' Ah, that's the great puzzle!”
― Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland

“It would be so nice if something made sense for a change.”
― Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland

“Jer, ako je književnost bolest, onda je ta bolest trajna, kronična i naprosto neizlječiva. Baš kad vam se učini da ste se izliječili, jave se recidivi prouzročeni nekim nuzgrednim povodom: šarenim ovitkom u izlogu, mirisom štamparske boje, glatkoćom bezdrvnog papira i slično. Uz to što je kronična, ta je bolest pomalo i endemična, jer pandemijama obiluju drugi žanrovi: televizija, moda, ples i trač.”
― Goran Tribuson, Povijest pornografije

“Stajao sam tako ne znam ni sam koliko, možda samo časak, a možda satima ili danima. U meni su umirali svjetovi. Činilo mi se: ništa nije teže podnijeti.”
