Life's harder, the deeper you feel things, was all I could think as I put the books away. Feelings, who needs them? Sometimes they're like a gift, when you feel love or happiness. Sometimes they're a curse. ↗

There is only a certain amount of kindness in the world…just as there is a certain amount of light. We cast a shadow on something wherever we stand, and it is no good moving from place to place to save things…Choose a place where you won’t do very much harm and stand in it for all you are worth, facing the sunshine. ↗

— E.M. Forster

He was my comfort. He was my solace. Nearly everything I had faced in my young life, I had gotten through because of him, because he was always there for me, with soft words and a tender heart. -Kiera Allen ↗

Le persone dolci non sono ingenue né stupide, né tanto meno indifese. Anzi, sono così forti da potersi permettere di non indossare nessuna maschera. Libere di essere vulnerabili, di provare emozioni, di correre il rischio di essere felici ↗

Anya: "There was this other apocalypse this one time. And, well, I took off. But this time, I don't... I don't know." Andrew: "Well, what's different?" Anya: "Well, I guess I was kinda new to being around humans before. And now I've seen a lot more, gotten to know people, seen what they're capable of and I guess I just realize how amazingly... screwed up they all are. I mean, really, really screwed up in a monumental fashion." Andrew: "Oh." Anya: "And they have no purpose that unites them, so they just drift around, blundering through life until they die. Which they-they know is coming, yet every single one of them is surprised when it happens to them. They're incapable of thinking about what they want beyond the moment. They kill each other, which is clearly insane, and yet, here's the thing. When it's something that really matters, they fight. I mean, they're lame morons for fighting. But they do. They never... They never quit. And so I guess I will keep fighting, too. ↗
