Of course I’ll hurt you. Of course you’ll hurt me. Of course we will hurt each other. But this is the very condition of existence. To become spring, means accepting the risk of winter. To become presence, means accepting the risk of absence

Antoine de Saint Exupéry, The Little Prince

She knew she was really sad, when she stopped loving the things she loved.

What I hate I love. Ask the crucified hand that holds the nail that now is driven into itself, why.

Frank Bidart, from Half-light: Collected Poems; “Catullus: Id faciam”

You haven’t vanished. The letters of your name are still a scar that doesn’t heal,

Octavio Paz, tr. by Eliot Weinberger, from The Poems of Octavio Paz; “The Prisoner”

Some people are born with tornados in their lives, but constellations in their eyes. Other people are born with stars at their feet, but their souls are lost at sea.

Perspectives, Nikita Gill

She wanted to be alone, but not lonely. That was very different; that was something that ached and hurt dreadfully right inside one.

Elizabeth Von Arnim

Sometimes, the people who are thousand of miles away from you, can make you feel better than the people who are right beside you.

At the end of the day, you can either focus on what's tearing you apart or what's holding you together.

O ruin O haunted  restless remnant of  two bodies,

Frank Bidart, from Half-light: Collected Poems; “O ruin O haunted”

It is madness to hate all roses because you got scratched with one thorn.

Antoine de Saint-Exupére
