“You’ve got to understand life, understand it when you’re young.”

Perfect behaviour is born of complete indifference.

Lessons are not given, they are taken.

The whole problem of life, then, is this: how to break out of one’s own loneliness, how to communicate with others.

No one ever lacks a good reason for suicide.

Human imagination is immensely poorer than reality.

The only reason why we are always thinking of our own ego is that we have to live with it more continuously than with anyone else’s.

For women, history does not exist. Murasaki, Sappho, and Madame Lafayette might be their own contemporaries.

The slowness of time, for a man who knows nothing will happen, is brutal.

The world, the future, is now within you as your past, as experience, skill in technique, and the rich, everlasting mystery is found to be childish you that, at the time, you made no effort to possess.

We must never say, even in fun, that we are disheartened, because someone might take us at our word.

Nowadays, suicide is just a way of disappearing. It is carried out timidly, quietly, and falls flat. It is no longer an action, only a submission.

What world lies beyond that stormy sea I do not know, but every ocean has a distant shore, and I shall reach it.

The closing years of life are like the end of a masquerade party, when the masks are dropped.

The problems that agitate one generation are exstinguished for the next, not because they have been solved but because the general lack of interest sweeps them away.

Why does a man who is truly in love insist that this relationship must continue and be “lifelong”? Because life is pain and the enjoyment of love is an anesthetic. Who would want to wake up halfway through an operation?

One must look for one thing only, to find many.

You tell me its going to be okay, tell me, is it really what you believe? Or is it a mere illusion you continue to paint for me.

Look into the mirror and ask yourself is this the life you want or just sacrificing your dreams for fear.

It makes life so much easier when you can just say ‘I’m human’ at the end of the day.”

I’ve spent a lot of my life being lost but aren’t those the best adventures?

You gotta embrace every moment that come with life; The Wins & The Losses.

The only people you need in your life, are the ones who need you.

You are much aware of your consequences than others are of your problem. 

You are right where you are supposed to be; growing, gracefully.
