“I raised you so high that every other man on earth is now doomed to live in your shadow.”

“To begin to know ourselves we must have sincere conversations with ourselves as if with a good friend. We must answer without reserve, listen without judgement, and accept without condition. That is self-love.”

“Today I wore a pair of faded old jeans and a plain grey baggy shirt. I hadn't even taken a shower, and I did not put on an ounce of makeup. I grabbed a worn out black oversized jacket to cover myself with even though it is warm outside. I have made conscious decisions lately to look like less of what I felt a male would want to see. I want to disappear.”

“Another method or way of reducing stress and depression. Is to avoid making time and sacrifices for people who think less of you. People who think you are not important. You will spend most of your precious time. Trying to prove and to get their validation, but still, they won't care, because to them you not worth it.”

“It’s difficult for me to imagine the rest of my life without you. But I suppose I don’t have to imagine it... I just have to live it”

“Malgré les symptômes qui continuaient à la secouer - apathie, tremblements, accès de panique soudains et inexpliqués -, Andréa avait du mal à le croire. Elle n'était pas un soldat. Elle n'avait rien vécu de véritablement traumatique. - Peut-être que si, a insisté le médecin. La répétition de stress de moindre intensité semble avoir les mêmes effets qu'un seul gros traumatisme. C'est comme une boîte où l'on amoncelle des tas d'expériences difficiles, et à un moment, la boîte est pleine et tout déborde.”

“There is a heart, there is history. There is a heart, there is hell. There is a heart, there is hate. There is a heart, there is harm. There is a heart, there is heartache. There is a heart, there is heaviness. There is a heart, there is hinderance. There is a heart, there is help. There is a heart, there is honesty. There is a heart, there is hope. There is a heart, there is healing. There is a heart, there is harmony. There is a heart, there is heaven.”

“Your smile and your laughter lit my whole world.”

“All this waiting. Waiting for the rain to stop. Waiting in traffic. Waiting for the bill. Waiting at the airport for an old friend. Waiting to depart. Then, there’s the big waiting: waiting to grow up. Waiting for love. Waiting to show your your parents that when you have kids you’ll be different. Waiting to retire. Waiting for death. Why do we think waiting is the antithesis of life when it is almost all of it?”

“Though it’s reasons to burn may vary... you are always the fuel of my fire.”

“I know he wasn’t perfect… But he did the best impression of it I’ve ever seen.”

“You see, the world is not enough satisfying for a writer. The world doesn’t fit the writer; the world’s design is for him like a straitjacket. The writer is a human, at least physically he looks like all other humans, but he is unsatisfied, gaunt and silent. He creates a world of his own, one to reflect all of him. He is getting rid of this world as a serpent gets rid of his skin. Between the covers of the book he plays God and molds humans of paper. And he is punishing them or creating them wings, as he considers. Some he kills with bare hands, not because they were bad people, but because they did bad things, and he leaves others to die by themselves. And then the writer realizes that revenge doesn’t exist, and that death is not a penalty, or if it is, is the same for everybody. Did God feel that way in the beginning of everything? Did the creation, the world, the water, the muse, the island, the sunrise, the stones came out of discontent? Out of an unbearable loneliness?”

“Loneliness tortures many if not most of the elderly more intensely and more frequently than it torments many if not most of us who will never be or have not yet been pushed or pulled into old age.”

“Being bored is the price we pay for not being insane.”
