“There are places and moments in which one is so completely alone that one sees the world entire.”

“There are moments when one has to choose between living one's own life, fully, entirely, completely-or dragging out some false, shallow, degrading existence that the world in its hypocrisy demands.”

“For there is only one person in this entire world whom you can honestly,entirely, and completely fall for”

“As there is one Face above all worlds merely to see which is irrevocable joy, so at the bottom of all worlds that face is waiting whose sight alone is the misery from which none who beholds it can recover.”

“For a flicker of a moment I imagined a world completely different from the one I'd always known, a world in which I was treated with fairness, even kindness-- a world in which fathers didn't sell their daughters. ”

“One day you will be completely alone. So try to be completely alone now. Because now you can recognize the beauty that is there.”
