― Frank Herbert, Chapterhouse: Dune

“Like water, we mostly follow the path of least resistance.”
― Wally Lamb, We Are Water

“Of course we lose them, everyone we try to hold on to, the fates disdain us, make us small, pathetic. When we cry for people we’ve lost, it’s not out of sympathy, because of course we know that they’re free from pain at last. But still we cry. We cry because we’re alone again. We cry out of self-pity.”
― Jo Nesbø, The Thirst
