I am a big fan of quotes, mainly from books. Here is a couple of them that define my life as a whole spectrum of thoughts and actions.
“The bottom line is that if you are in hell, the only way out is to go through a period of sustained misery. Misery is, of course, much better than hell, but it is painful nonetheless. By refusing to accept the misery that it takes to climb out of hell, you end up falling back into hell repeatedly, only to have to start over and over again.” ― Marsha M. Linehan
“Give me books, French wine, fruit, fine weather and a little music played out of doors by somebody I do not know.” ― John Keats
“I have good reason to be content, for thank God I can read and perhaps understand Shakespeare to his depths.” ― John Keats
“Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings.” ― Anais Nin
“Books are finite, sexual encounters are finite, but the desire to read and to fuck is infinite; it surpasses our own deaths, our fears, our hopes for peace.” ― Roberto Bolano
“One should . . . be able to see things as hopeless and yet be determined to make them otherwise.” ― F. Scott Fitzgerald
“I am afraid a monster is grown that will devour all of us. Yet we must fight him.” ― Isaac Asimov, Foundation and Empire
