Quote by Irina Semikop

“The house was impressive — but not inviting. It had everything, except warmth. Glass, marble, steel — every surface polished to surgical sterility. It didn’t feel like a home. It felt like a verdict. Chapter 50”

“In the vast profusion of good things upon this earth I should seek what I like best, and what I can best appropriate to myself. To this end, the first use I should make of my wealth would be to purchase leisure and freedom, to which I would add health, if it were to be purchased; but health can only be bought by temperance, and as there is no real pleasure without health, I should be temperate from sensual motives.”

“Now see, there were those who Have and those who Did Not Have. They fashioned elegant words for this false arrangement, called them things like nations. And those who Have--for all they did was have and choose--chose to have what they couldn't. This, friend, is the way the world always ends, has always ended since we have watched it together: with those who Have choosing demise--always demise--for everything but themselves.”

“At the end of the day, there are very few people around you who truly want to see you peaceful, happy and content. Most of your friends only want to see you happy, peaceful and content, in ratio to their own happiness, peace and contentment. It's like, "Yeah, I want all your dreams to come true and I want to see you smile, but only for as much as I smile and only in proportion to how many of my own dreams come true." That's what people today call, "friendship" and "care". It's not really friendship and it's not really care. Then there's like one or two people who would celebrate your own happiness and success even if it's out of proportion to their own. And that's a real blessing right there, that's a real friendship.”
