"I am a fool with a heart but no brains, and you are a fool with brains but no heart; and we're both unhappy, and we both suffer."

"It is better to be unhappy and know the worst, than to be happy in a fool's paradise."

"Man is sometimes extraordinarily, passionately, in love with suffering."

"Your worst sin is that you have destroyed and betrayed yourself for nothing."

-Fyodor Dostoevsky



"You are the knife I turn inside myself; that is love. That, my dear, is love."

"I cannot make you understand. I cannot make anyone understand what is happening inside me. I cannot even explain it to myself."

"Youth is happy because it has the capacity to see beauty. Anyone who keeps the ability to see beauty never grows old."

-Franz Kafka
