For better or worse, he was my soul mate. The other half of me. In many ways, he was my reflection. Sylvia Day
How much there is to suffer. When was time enough to pay attention to our lighter emotions? And still I recognize, better than most others who will be resurrected, what blessedness is. Rainer Maria Rilke
Paulo Coelho quote: "The happiness of one does not mean the unhappiness of the others."
The happiness of one does not mean the unhappiness of the others. Paulo Coelho
The feeling that we are all neglected and lonely but not so lonely that "others" do not see us in trouble, saves us from the worst suffering. Albert Camus
The Stoics say, " Retire within yourselves; it is there you will find your rest." And that is not true. Others say, "Go out of yourselves; seek happiness in amusement." And this is not true. Illness comes. Happiness is neither without us nor within us. It is in God, both without us and within us. Blaise Pascal
I realized that there were times when we talked not because we needed to communicate anything important, but simply because we each drew comfort from the other's voice Nicholas Sparks
Never, never be afraid to do what's right, especially if the well-being of a person or animal is at stake. Society's punishments are small compared to the wounds we inflict on our soul when we look the other way. Martin Luther King jr.
To censure my own faults in some other person seems to me no more incongruous than to censure, as I often do, another's in myself. They must be denounced everywhere, and be allowed no place of sanctuary. Michel de Montaigne
Our relationship couldn't continue to balance, as it did, on the point of a knife. We would fall off one edge or the other, depending entirely upon his decision, or his instincts. My decision was made, made before I'd ever consciously chosen, and I was committed to seeing it through. Because there was nothing more terrifying to me, more excruciating, than the thought of turning away from him. It was an impossibility. Stephenie Meyer

He that does not like civil society on these terms, let him retire and live among savages. Benjamin Franklin
