"You are part of my existence, part of myself. You have been in every line I have ever read, since I first came here, the rough common boy whose poor heart you wounded even then. You have been in every prospect I have ever seen since -- on the river, on the sails of the ships, on the marshes, in the clouds, in the light, in the darkness, in the wind, in the woods, in the sea, in the streets. You have been the embodiment of every graceful fancy that my mind has ever become acquainted with. The stones of which the strongest London buildings are made, are not more real, or more impossible to be displaced by your hands, than your presence and influence have been to me, there and everywhere, and will be." - Great Expectations, Charles Dickenson

“In my mind I am eloquent; I can climb intricate scaffolds of words to reach the highest cathedral ceilings and paint my thoughts. But when I open my mouth, everything collapses.”-Isaac Marion, Warm Bodies

Homo Homini Lupus - man is a wolf to his fellow man

Totus Mues Vix Es Decorus - all my scars are beautiful

Que Sera Sera - Whatever will be, will be

These violent delights have violent ends and in their triumph die, like fire and powder, which as they kiss consume. - Romeo and Juliet, Act II, Scene VI

"The loneliest moment in someone's life is when when they are watching their whole life fall apart, and all they can do is stare blankly." - F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

“I can't go back to yesterday because I was a different person then.”
― Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland

“He felt that his whole life was some kind of dream and he sometimes wondered whose it was and whether they were enjoying it.”
― Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

“Life is a storm, my young friend. You will bask in the sunlight one moment, be shattered on the rocks the next. What makes you a man is what you do when that storm comes. You must look into that storm and shout as you did in Rome. Do your worst, for I will do mine! Then the fates will know you as we know you”
― Alexandre Dumas, The Count of Monte Cristo
