    Jane Austen
    “There are few people whom I really love, and still fewer of whom I think well.

    Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

    Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
    The crownless again shall be king.”

    I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn
    “I believe that everything happens for a reason.

    Marilyn Monroe

    Ralph Waldo Emerson

    Elizabeth Gilbert
    “People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that's what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life.

    A true soul mate is probably the most important person you'll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake. But to live with a soul mate forever? Nah. Too painful. Soul mates, they come into your life just to reveal another layer of yourself to you, and then leave.

    A soul mates purpose is to shake you up, tear apart your ego a little bit, show you your obstacles and addictions, break your heart open so new light can get in, make you so desperate and out of control that you have to transform your life, then introduce you to your spiritual master...”
    Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love

    Natsume Sōseki
    “You seem to be under the impression that there is a special breed of bad humans. There is no such thing as a stereotype bad man in this world. Under normal conditions, everybody is more or less good, or, at least, ordinary. But tempt them, and they may suddenly change. That is what is so frightening about men.”
    Natsume Soseki, Kokoro

  • #28
    Natsume Sōseki
    “In fact, there is no such thing as character, something fixed and final. The real thing is something that novelists don’t know how to write about. Or, if they tried, the end result would never be a novel. Real people are strangely difficult to make sense out of. Even a god would have his hands full trying. But maybe I’m jumping to conclusions, presuming that other people are a mess just because I’m put together in such a disorderly way. If so, I should apologize.”
    Soseki Natsume

  • #29
    Haruki Murakami
    “El corazón de las personas es como un pozo muy profundo. Nadie sabe lo que hay en el fondo. Sólo podemos imaginárnoslo mirando la forma de las cosas que, de vez en cuando, suben a la superficie.”
    Haruki Murakami

    H.G. Wells
    “The forceps of our minds are clumsy forceps, and crush the truth a little in taking hold of it.”
