“The music lived, but the world was dead. And the song would die one day, she thought, but how would the world come back to life? How would its salt come back?”
― Patricia Highsmith, The Price of Salt

“And what is love anyway but the unattainable, the reaching out toward an illusion?”
― Cornell Woolrich, Rendezvous in Black

“Blind science tills vain colds,
mad Faith lives the dream of its cult,
a new God is only a word,
Don't believe or search,
all is hidden.”
― Antonio Tabucchi, Indian Nocturne

“Maybe we have very high expectations from the people we love, we think they’ll never make a mistake, or they’re somewhat an angel. We start to praise them, consider them our possessions, and make them a reason that would satisfy our egos. There’s no room left for respecting them as humans or the differences we have. But when we see them leaving us into our unhealthy patterns, then we realize what we had been doing or treating them for a while. Sounds selfish, no? At the end of the day, we care about ourselves only. We care because we won’t be able to live without them.
Humans are complicated, no doubt.”
― Hareem Ch, Breaking a Pledge
