Never Enough Quotes

“I'm still hurting from the frowning, cruel piano teacher who stole music from me. Hurting from the pain of my mother forcing me as a child to play exactly as I was instructed, to be the prodigy she so desperately wished me to be. I'm still holding a grudge as dark and sinister as the clouds outside for the both of them. Because I was never enough. I was never going to be the golden ticket into a life they craved.”

“Thanks to our artists, we pretend well, living under canopies of painted clouds and painted gods, in halls of marble floors across which the sung Masses paint hope in deep impatsi of echo. We make of the hollow world a fuller, messier, prettier place, but all our inventions can't create the one thing we require: to deserve any fond attention we might accidentally receive, to receive any fond attention we don't in the course of things deserve. We are never enough to ourselves because we can never be enough to another. Any one of us walks into any room and reminds its occupant that we are not the one they most want to see. We are never the one. We are never enough.”

“— Ти не ме обичаш достатъчно — казва с мъка тя. Поглеждам я изненадан. — Обичам те толкова, колкото мога. Изабела стои известна време мълчалива. — Не е достатъчно — шепне тя. — Никога не е достатъчно! Никога не е достатъчно! — Да — казвам аз. — Изглежда, никога не е достатъчно. Никога, през целия живот, никой път, с никого. Изглежда, всякога е недостатъчно и в това е нещастието на света.”
