“Oh love and hate are two sides of the same blade”
Source: Kushiel's Dart
“Oh, love.
Dearest and wildest of things!
You cannot force love.
Just like confidence or humility;
like spring and rain —
it is, or it isn’t.
Love is like a wild songbird;
you cannot be proud to own her,
nor cage her in order to possess her,
and then ask her to keep silent.
You cannot own her
nor can you tame her;
she needs to be free,
you need to let go of it.
Open the gates of that cage
and let her go,
let her fly away.
She must be free to decide
if she wants to stay.
If she goes away,
she must be free to decide
if she wants to come back.
Love is the wildest of creatures;
she is not easy to find
nor is she easy to keep.
She is priceless,
yet she isn’t for free,
but if she isn’t free
she cannot be true —
it cannot be love.”
“Oh love how can we not be together?' Romeo cried. "Without the sight of you every day, the smell, the taste of you, I would wither away. My blood would turn to powder in my veins. And you? Have you not found in me a mirror for your soul? When you look at me, when we speak, touch, do you not see who you really are? I dare you to deny that in my presence you love yourself better. I know this is true, for I love myself better in yours.”

“Oh, magic hour when a child first knows it can read printed words!
For quite a while, Francie had been spelling out letters, sounding them and then putting the sounds together to mean a word. But, one day, she looked at a page and the word "mouse" had instantaneous meaning. She looked at the word, and a picture of a gray mouse scampered through her mind. She looked further and when she saw "horse," she heard him pawing the ground and saw the sun glint on his glossy coat. The word "running" hit her suddenly and she breathed hard as though running herself. The barrier between he individual sound of each letter and the whole meaning of the word was removed and the printed word meant a thing at one quick glance. She read a few pages rapidly and almost became ill with excitement. She wanted to shout it out. She could read! She could read!
From that time on, the world was hers for the reading. She would never be lonely again, never miss the lack of intimate friends. Books became her friends and there was one for every mood. There was poetry for quiet companionship. There was adventure when she tired of quiet hours. There would be love stories when she came to adolescence and when she wanted to feel a closeness to someone she could read a biography. On that day when she first knew she could read, she made a vow to read one book a day as long as she lived.”

And ditching teenage fantasy means ditching all your dreams
All your friends and peers and family solemnly tell you you will
Have to grow up be an adult yeah be bored and unfulfilled

About slaving 50 years away on something that you hate, about meekly shuffling down the path of mediocrity
Well if that's your road then take it but it's not the road for me.”
