“Jonathan sighed. The price of being misunderstood, he thought. They call you devil or they call you god.”
― Jonathan Livingston Seagull

“What a fool she was ever to have imagined that there might be some place in the world where she could sink to the earth with the knowledge that there were people round her who understood, who perhaps even admired and loved her! She was fated to carry loneliness about with her as a leper carries his scabs. 'No one can do anything for me: no one can do anything against me.”
― Thérèse Desqueyroux
