Quote by Euripides

“Not for the first time I find our lives are a shadow, and I am not afraid to say that people who think they have everything figured out and are masters of logic - they are responsible for the greatest folly. No human being is happy. Strike it rich and you are luckier than your neighbor - but happy, never.”

He sat on the side of the bed and tried to look guiltier than he felt.”

I turn out to be the loyal one all the time who makes all the efforts to continue the relationship and stay honest and it hurts as fuck!”
