"De finibus bonorum et malorum" von Cicero

Neque porro quisquam est, qui dolorem ipsum, quia dolor sit, amet, consectetur, adipisci velit [...].

= Ferner gibt es auch niemanden, der den Schmerz um seiner selbst willen liebt, der ihn sucht und haben will, einfach, weil es Schmerz ist […].

"Clockwork Angel" by Cassandra Clare

Whatever you are physically...male or female, strong or weak, ill or healthy--
all those things matter less than what your heart contains.
If you have the soul of a warrior, you are a warrior.
All those other things, they are the glass that contains the lamp,
but you are the light inside.

–Jem Carstairs

"Kafka on the Shore" by Haruki Murakami

Nobody can help you. That's what love's all about... You're the one having these wonderful feelings, but you have to go it alone as you wander through the dark. Your mind and body have to bear it all. All by yourself.

"The Blue Octavo Notebooks" by Franz Kafka

The man in ecstasy and the man drowning–both throw up their arms.
