    “Self-righteousness,- Victor said. But when Sydney looked confused, he added, ―He heals. It‘s a reflexive ability. In his eyes, I think that makes it somehow pure. Divine. He can‘t technically use his power to hurt others.
    ―No,- said Sydney, ―he uses guns for that.
    Victor chuckled.”

    “Secrets have power. And that power diminishes when they are shared, so they are best kept and kept well. Sharing secrets, real secrets, important ones, with even one other person, will change them. Writing them down is worse, because who can tell how many eyes might see them inscribed on paper, no matter how careful you might be with it. So it's really best to keep your secrets when you have them, for their own good, as well as yours.”
    Erin Morgenstern, The Night Circus

    “Do not fall in love with people like me.
    I will take you to museums, and parks, and monuments, and kiss you in every beautiful place, so that you can never go back to them without tasting me like blood in your mouth.
    I will destroy you in the most beautiful way possible. And when I leave you will finally understand, why storms are named after people.”
    Caitlyn Siehl, Literary Sexts: A Collection of Short & Sexy Love Poems

    Augustine of Hippo
    “For I wondered that others, subject to death, did live, since
    he whom I loved, as if he should never die, was dead; and I wondered
    yet more that myself, who was to him a second self, could live, he
    being dead. Well said one of his friend, "Thou half of my soul"; for
    I felt that my soul and his soul were "one soul in two bodies": and
    therefore was my life a horror to me, because I would not live halved.
    And therefore perchance I feared to die, lest he whom I had much loved
    should die wholly.”
    Augustine of Hippo, Confessions

    “What if I mess up?"

    "Oh, you will. You'll mess up, you'll make mistakes, you'll break things. Some you'll be able to piece together, and others you'll lose. That's all a given. But there's only one thing you have to do for me."

    "What's that?"

    "Stay alive long enough to mess up again.”

    “The moments that define lives aren't always obvious. They don't scream LEDGE, and nine times out of ten there's no rope to duck under, no line to cross, no blood pact, no official letter on fancy paper. They aren't always protracted, heavy with meaning. Between one sip and the next, Victor made the biggest mistake of his life, and it was made of nothing more than one line. Three small words.

    "I'll go first.”
    Victoria Schwab, Vicious

    Mr. Padfoot would like to register his astonishment that an idiot like that ever became a professor.

    Chuck Palahniuk
    “I see in the fight club the strongest and smartest men who've ever lived. I see all this potential and I see squandering. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables, slaves with white collars, advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. We're the middle children of the history man, no purpose or place, we have no Great war, no Great depression, our great war is a spiritual war, our great depression is our lives, we've been all raised by television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires and movie gods and rock stars, but we won't and we're slowly learning that fact. and we're very very pissed off.”
    Chuck Palahniuk, Fight Club
