I was always attracted not by some quantifiable, external beauty, but by something deep down, something absolute. Just as some people have a secret love for rainstorms, earthquakes, or blackouts, I liked that certain undefinable something directed my way by members of the opposite sex. For want of a better word, call it magnetism. Like it or not, it’s a kind of power that snares people and reels them in. Haruki Murakami

Somebody who falls apart when you walk out the door? You don't, do you? And neither does he. You're turning over your whole life to him. Your whole life, girl. And if it means so little to you that you can just give it away, hand it to him, then why should it mean any more to him? he can't value you... Toni Morrison
...gods, religions and national boundaries are absolutely imaginary. They don't tend to exist. As soon as you pull back half a mile and look down at the Earth there are no national boundaries.

I just get fascinated by people who assume that things that are imaginary have no relevance to their lives. Neil Gaiman

H. G. Wells
Learn, he says, that there will be hours, daysand months ahead of feeling absolutely terribleand nothing can change that; neither newgirlfriends, health professionals, changes of diet, dope, humility, orGod. Charles Bukowski

The pleasure in complete domination over another person (or other animate creature) is the very essence of the sadistic drive. Another way of formulating the same thought is to say that the aim of sadism is to transform man into a thing, something animate into something inanimate, since by complete and absolute control the living loses one essential quality of life - freedom. Erich Fromm
For, of course, being a girl, one’s whole dignity and meaning in life consisted in the achievement of an absolute, a perfect, a pure and noble freedom. What else did a girl’s life mean? David Herbert Lawrence
This is the one and onlyfirmament; thereforeit is the absolute world. There is no other world. The circle is complete. I am living in Eternity. The ways of this worldare the ways of Heaven. Allen Ginsberg
