Because hatred gives one strength to go on; it maintains the fragile structure, it weaves the threads together so that emptiness doesn’t take over everything.

— Agustina Bazterrica, Tender Is the Flesh

The trouble is, you think you have time.

— Buddha

I don't care what you think about me. I don't think about you at all.

— Coco Chanel

But when she felt around for her heart, she could tell by the stabbing that it was broken. It would have to be healed if she was to continue in this life, and that could be best accomplished with a reasoned and thorough mourning. She must mourn for her husband.

— Michael Blake, Dances With Wolves

What did time matter to him now? What did it ever matter? Well, perhaps it was necessary in the movement of things, men and materials, for instance. For cooking things correctly. For schools and weddings and church services and going to work. But what did it matter out here?

— Michael Blake, Dances With Wolves

We have seen twenty-seven doctors in nine years. People believe doctors know everything. I used to believe this. It's a very lonely feeling when the doctors can't do anything. You're calling out for help in viscid darkness, and all you get back is an echo.

— Melissa Broder, Death Valley

Nothing has changed. It’s still very simple. I miss him. I miss him every day. I miss him very much. But how would it be if that feeling was gone? I would not want that to happen. I told the shrink: It would not make me happy at all not to miss him anymore. You can’t hurry love, as the song goes. You can’t hurry grief, either.

— Sigrid Nunez, The Friend

You don't find love, it finds you. It's got a little bit to do with destiny, fate and what's written in the stars.

— Anaïs Nin

What makes us love whom we love; what makes us choose to do what we do?

— Susan Jane Gilman, Donna Has Left the Building

When you're in jail, a good friend will be trying to bail you out. A best friend will be in the cell next to you saying, 'Damn, that was fun'.

— Groucho Marx

We decided we should not run away together. I told him sadly, “You will lose me soon because you don’t love me enough.”

— Anaïs Nin, Henry & June

Please understand that I'm in full rebellion against my own mind, that when I live, I live by impulse, by emotion, by white heat.

— Anaïs Nin, Henry & June

I love her and that is the beginning and end of everything.

— F. Scott Fitzgerald

You never fail until you stop trying.

— Albert Einstein

He wanted to keep the sunlight that had bathed him his whole life, but the sun went and the plain darkened; no man could slow the sun.

— Larry McMurtry, Comanche Moon

To Scarlett, he was still an enigma but an enigma about which she no longer bothered her head. She was convinced that nothing ever pleased him or ever would please him; that he either wanted something very badly and didn’t have it, or never had wanted anything and so didn’t care about anything.

— Margaret Mitchell, Gone With the Wind

When a long, long time later, he stares down at the silent blue marble of the earth and thinks of his sister, as he will at every important moment of his life. He doesn't know this yet, but he senses it deep down in his core. So much will happen, he thinks, that I would want to tell you.

— Celeste Ng, Everything I Never Told You

I think I was born strong-willed. That's not the kind of thing you can learn. The advantage is, you stick to what you believe in and rarely get pushed out of what you want to do.

— Joan Jett

We have advantages. We have a cushion to fall back on. This is abundance. A luxury of place and time. Something rare and wonderful. It's almost historically unprecedented. We must do extraordinary things. We have to. It would be absurd not to.

— Dave Eggers, A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius

Dogs are the best mourners in the world, as everyone knows.

— Joy Williams

The wisest thing to do if you're living in hell is to make yourself comfortable.

— Charles Bukowski

In the end, all you want is someone to long for you when it comes time to put you in the ground.

— Téa Obreht, The Tiger’s Wife

Perhaps the song of a bird in a chamber is more precious than the wild bird’s because the chamber itself makes it so. Perhaps the free air that gives the wild bird its better song in fact limits the reach of its prayer. So small, this understanding. So remarkably tiny. Still, it might be enough to live for.

— Lauren Groff, Matrix

Even when you think you can't bear it, you can bear it.

— Lauren Groff, Arcadia

The whole world can’t lick us but we can lick ourselves by longing too hard for things we haven’t got any more—and by remembering too much.

— Margaret Mitchell, Gone With the Wind

From that time on, the world was hers for the reading. She would never be lonely again, never miss the lack of intimate friends. Books became her friends and there was one for every mood.

— Betty Smith, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn

Strays is what a writer I recently read calls those who, for one reason or another, and despite whatever they might have wanted earlier in life, never really become a part of life, not in the way most people do. They may have serious relationships, they may have friends, even a sizable circle, they may spend large portions of their time in the company of others. But they never marry and they never have children. On holidays, they join some family or other group. This goes on year after year, until they finally find it in themselves to admit that they’d really rather just stay home.

— Sigrid Nunez, The Friend

You don't look back along time but down through it, like water. Sometimes this comes to the surface, sometimes that, sometimes nothing. Nothing goes away.

— Margaret Atwood, Cat’s Eye

Everybody's dying, it's just a different disease.

— Elliott Smith, Pictures of Me

Death, I need my little addiction to you. I need that tiny voice who, even as I rise from the sea, all woman, all there, says kill me, kill me.

— Anne Sexton, Words for Dr. Y

Always do what you are afraid to do.

— Ralph Waldo Emerson

your letters got sadder. your lovers betrayed you. kid, I wrote back, all lovers betray. it didn't help. you said you had a crying bench and it was by a bridge and the bridge was over the river and you sat on the crying bench every night and wept for the lovers who had hurt and forgotten you.

— Charles Bukowski, An Almost Made Up Poem

All who have died are equal.

— Comanche Proverb

"You aren’t in love with me, are you? Why should I be in love with you?”
“No, my dear, I’m not in love with you, no more than you are with me, and if I were, you would be the last person I’d ever tell. God help the man who ever really loves you. You’d break his heart, my darling, cruel, destructive little cat who is so careless and confident she doesn’t even trouble to sheathe her claws.”

— Margaret Mitchell, Gone With the Wind

I don't know what it is like to not have deep emotions. Even when I feel nothing, I feel it completely.

— Sylvia Plath

I’ve been thinking I’d like to be Daisy; I’d like to have someone like Gatsby stare at my house for whole years and never stop dreaming of me.

— Koren Zailckas, Smashed: Story of a Drunken Girlhood

“No, she said, "for the blight of the english will come to this remoteness as well. It will spread into this land and infect this land and devour the people who were here first; it will slaughter them, diminish them. The hunger inside the god of my people can only be sated by domination. They will dominate until there is nothing left, then they will eat themselves.”

— Lauren Groff, The Vaster Wilds

When her pain is fresh and new, let her have it. Don't try to take it away. Forgive yourself for not having that power. Grief and pain are like joy and peace; they are not things we should try to snatch from each other. They're sacred. they are part of each person's journey. All we can do is offer relief from this fear: I am all alone. That's the one fear you can alleviate.

— Glennon Melton, Carry On, Warrior: Thoughts on Life Unarmed

It's everything that you want babe.
It's everything that you need.
Soft and warm al the time, make you want it over and over.
Strong on the horizon,
But ends up bein really so sweet... oh so sweet.

— My Morning Jacket, Masterplan

Some people seem to fade away but then when they are truly gone, it's like they didn't fade away at all.

— Bob Dylan

Marie is caged into her fate by the isolation of those two years, only mitigated by busy Cecily; Marie would never want to live through that desert of her soul again.

— Lauren Groff, Matrix

I saw a star, falling from grace
And I'd played pretend, hoping one day
I'd be the girl with that twisted fate
And I'd have a story, and they'd know my name

— Suki Waterhouse, Actress, Model, Whatever

Can you remember who you were, before the world told you who you should be?

— Danielle LaPorte

Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.

— Rabindranath Tagore, Stray Birds

If you expect nothing from anybody, you’re never disappointed.

— Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar

We feel that to reveal embarrassing or private things, we have given someone something, that, like a primitive person fearing that a photographer will steal his soul, we identify our secrets, our past and their blotches, with our identity, that revealing our habits or losses or deeds somehow makes one less of oneself.

— Dave Eggers, A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius

Love breaks my bones
and I laugh

— Charles Bukowski

Don't you bully me with your politeness! Love is hard to believe, ask any lover. Life is hard to believe, ask any scientist. God is hard to believe, ask any believer. What is your problem with hard to believe?

— Yann Martel, Life of Pi
