“Much of what was said did not matter, and that much of what mattered could not be said.”
― Katherine Boo, Behind the Beautiful Forevers: Life, Death, and Hope in a Mumbai Undercity

“We want so much from those who love us: friendship, understanding, conversation, and kindness—and companionship, and sex, and children, and even money or someone to cook dinner or mow the grass. Sometimes, at the bottom of things, when we are most in love, we want our partners to be for us the same as God.
But only in our deepest part are we divine, and most of us live within our smaller selves most of the time. And so who can be the all and everything for another? Who can be the sun that lights up the soul and drives away despair, depression, and fear, not just for a night of love or a season of romance, but for a whole long lifetime until death do part?
I have often wondered at the relationship between splendor and love. It seems to me that love is the very heart of splendor, its deepest purpose, while splendor gives fire and brilliance to love. I know that just as we can place too great a demand on love and the one we fall in love with, so we can want too much of splendor. In this, I think, we make a great mistake. We should want to shine as an expression of our true nature, not because splendor itself will save us from our darker side.”

“Според мен повечето хора живеят в измислен свят. Аз не правя изключение. То е нещо като трансмисията в автомобила. На човека е нужна такава трансмисия между него и суровата действителност. Когато светът те притиска с цялата си тежест, ти използваш лоста, за да превключиш на скорост, която ще ти позволи да понесеш тази тежест. Така запазваш крехкото си тяло.”
― Харуки Мураками

“I guess the only time most people think about injustice is when it happens to them.”
― Charles Bukowski, Ham on Rye
