    “What is this gypsy passion for separation, this
    readiness to rush off when we've just met?
    My head rests in my hands as I
    realize, looking into the night

    that no one turning over our letters has
    yet understood how completely and
    how deeply faithless we are, which is
    to say: how true we are to ourselves.”

    “There are books so alive that you're always afraid that while you weren't reading, the book has gone and changed, has shifted like a river; while you went on living, it went on living too, and like a river moved on and moved away. No one has stepped twice into the same river. But did anyone ever step twice into the same book?”

    Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
    “So the little prince tamed the fox. And when the hour of his departure drew near--

    Ah," said the fox, "I shall cry."

    It is your own fault," said the little prince. "I never wished you any sort of harm; but you wanted me to tame you . . ."

    Yes, that is so," said the fox.

    But now you are going to cry!" said the little prince.

    Yes, that is so," said the fox.

    Then it has done you no good at all!"

    It has done me good," said the fox, "because of the color of the wheat fields.”

    “If you stay, I'll do whatever you want. I'll quit the band, go with you to New York. But if you need me to go away, I'll do that, too. I was talking to Liz and she said maybe coming back to your old life would be too painful, that maybe it'd be easier for you to erase us. And that would suck, but I'd do it. I can lose you like that if I don't lose you today. I'll let you go. If you stay.”

    Sarah J. Maas
    “In the garden, the Captain of the Guard stared up at the young woman's balcony, watching as she waltzed alone, lost in her dreams. But he knew her thoughts weren't of him.

    She stopped and stared upward. Even from a distance, he could see the blush upon her cheeks. She seemed young—no, new. It made his chest ache.

    Still, he watched, watched until she sighed and went inside. She never bothered to look below.”

    Seneca
    “If anyone says that the best life of all is to sail the sea, and then adds that I must not sail upon a sea where shipwrecks are a common occurrence and there are often sudden storms that sweep the helmsman in an adverse direction, I conclude that this man, although he lauds navigation, really forbids me to launch my ship.”
