Fatigue is here, in my body, in my legs and eyes. That is what gets you in the end.
Margaret Atwood (via misswallflower)
I’ve been making a list of the things they don’t teach you at school. They don’t teach you how to love somebody. They don’t teach you how to be famous. They don’t teach you how to be rich or how to be poor. They don’t teach you how to walk away from someone you don’t love any longer. They don’t teach you how to know what’s going on in someone else’s mind. They don’t teach you what to say to someone who’s dying. They don’t teach you anything worth knowing.
Neil Gaiman, The Sandman, Vol. 9: The Kindly Ones
We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.
Kurt Vonnegut, Mother Night
When the soul suffers too much, it develops a taste for misfortune.
Albert Camus, The First Man
