“I’ve noticed that about people who had stable childhoods. They like to create their own problems.”
― Lily King, Heart the Lover

“If he knew how much I loved him it would terrify him.”
― Lily King, Heart the Lover

“I think it’s the only form of hope we have. For our survival, I mean. What good is any other virtue without love?

In literature love is a weakness. Othello is easily manipulated by Iago because of his love for Desdemona. Anna Karenina throws herself under a train. Othello places his trust in Iago, not Desdemona. Anna Karenina’s society does not allow her to be with Vronsky.

Love is not the weakness. People get in its way. People are weak and perilous, not love.”
― Lily King, Heart the Lover

“People left him alone. And that was all he wanted.”
― Patrick Süskind, Perfume: The Story of a Murderer
