How did you find me here? If I was blind, I would see you. Stay with me. Forever. That's the whole point. I'll never leave. Not even if you kill me. Buffy's dream in 3.01 Anne, written by Joss Whedon ↗

Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams, because every second of the search is a second's encounter with God and with eternity. ↗

Pitiful is the person who is afraid of taking risks. Perhaps this person will never be disappointed or disillusioned; perhaps she won’t suffer the way people do when they have a dream to follow. But when that person looks back – and at some point everyone looks back – she will hear her heart saying, “What have you done with the miracles that God planted in your days? What have you done with the talents God bestowed on you? You buried yourself in a cave because you were fearful of losing those talents. So this is your heritage; the certainty that you wasted your life. ↗

Suffering just means you’re having a bad dream. Happiness means you’re having a good dream. Enlightenment means getting out of the dream altogether. ↗

Beacon, beacon, lonesome on a hill— Waves run aground, pound ‘round, what a thrill! Water water everywhere crashes, Shore’s not lazy for it mashes, bashes….. Summer’s when tourists traipse o’er to see you, Offering to wipe-wash your dust and mildew; Summer painters place you with dinghy and gull, Historians have you as subject o’er which to mull. When feline Fog drifts gently or is heavy, Your bright light’s followed by boat bevy; And during those calm, clear days and nights You’re that upright nautical dream exciting tiny tykes. ↗

The romance stuff is easy. A sex scene... that's hard, because you don't know what to do. Those scenes are awkward. ↗

Ahora bien, porqué quiere él energicamente lo contrario, a saber, sentir plenamente la vida, sufrir la vida? Porque advierte que se le quiere enganar acerca de si mismo y que existe una espécie de pacto para extraerlo de su própria caverna: pero he aqui que se despabila, aguza el oído y decide. «Quiero seguir siendo mío!» Se trata de una terrible decisión; poco a poco lo irá comprendiendo. Ahora, en efecto, debe adentrarse en las profundidades de la existência com una serie de perguntas insólitas en los lábios: Por qué vivo? Que lección debo extraer de la vida? Como he llegado a ser lo que soy, y por qué sufro así? Se atormenta, y advierte que nadie se atormenta como él: antes bien, observa cómo las manos de sus congéneres se tienden hacia los fenómenos fantasmagóricos que muestra el teatro patético o cómo ellos mismos se pavoenean orgullosos portando cientos de máscaras: disfrazados de jovencitos, hombres adultos, ancianos, padres, ciudadanos, sacerdotes, funcionários, comerciantes, solitários todos ellos en su comedia general, sin conciencia ninguna de sí mismos. ↗

— Friedrich Nietzsche
