"Neatly As Novels" by Beau Taplin

We demand closure as though our lives were put together as neatly as novels, but the fact of the matter is they're not. In real life, relationships are messy and poorly written, ending too early or too late, and sometimes in the middle of a sentence.

The Shawshank Redemption, 1994

Truth is, I don't want to know.
Some things are best left unsaid.

"By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept " by Paulo Coelho

I've been in love before, it's like a narcotic. At first, it brings the euphoria of complete surrender. The next day you want more. You're not addicted yet, but you like the sensation, and you think you can still control things. You think about the person you love for two minutes then forget them for three hours. But then you get used to that person, and you begin to be completely dependent on them. Now you think about him for three hours and forget him for two minutes. If he's not there, you feel like an addict who can't get a fix. And just as addicts steal and humiliate themselves to get what they need, you're willing to do anything for love.

"On Truth and Lies in a Nonmoral Sense" by Friedrich Nietzsche

We believe that we know something about the things themselves when we speak of trees, colors, snow, and flowers; and yet we possess nothing but metaphors for things — metaphors which correspond in no way to the original entities.

Some days, I feel everything at once.
Other days, I feel nothing at all.
I don't know what's worse―drowning
beneath the waves, or dying from the thirst.

John Green

Some people have lives;
some people have music.

"The Lies About Truth" by Courtney C. Stevens

I feel myself shutting down, closing off,
like I should tell people,
‘No, we don’t use this heart anymore. It’s too fragile.'

Rudy Francisco

I write best
when I am either,
falling in love,
or falling apart.

Try not to feel jealous about things,
or people or places.
It’s toxic. Just keep living.
You will find your happiness

"Verschwende mich" von OK KID

Sieben Minuten nach Mitternacht, 2016

Conor: Geschichten sind nicht die Wirklichkeit. Die bringen überhaupt nichts.
Monster: Geschichten sind wilde Geschöpfe, Conor O'Malley. Und einmal los gelassen,
          weiß keiner welche Verwüstung sie mit sich bringen.

"Helen of Troy Does Countertop Dancing" by Margaret Atwood

You think I'm not a goddess?
Try me.
This is a torch song.
Touch me and you'll burn.
