“The deeper that sorrow carves into your being,
the more joy you can contain.
Is not the cup that holds your wine the very cup that was burned in the potters oven?
And is not the lute that soothes your spirits the very wood that was hollowed with knives?”
― Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet

“Why do they call me misanthrope? Because They hate me, not I them.”
― George Gordon Byron, Don Juan

“Maybe 'okay' will be our 'always”
― John Green, The Fault in Our Stars

“People like to say love is unconditional, but it's not, and even if it was unconditional, it's still never free. There's always an expectation attached. They always want something in return. Like they want you to be happy or whatever and that makes you automatically responsible for their happiness because they won't be happy unless you are ... I just don't want that responsibility.”
― Katja Millay, The Sea of Tranquility
