Suffering and pain are always obligatory for a broad consciousness and a deep heart. Truly great men, I think, must feel great sorrow in this world.

From my favorite book, I've said this and I'll say it again, this book is out of this world.
Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close
-Jonathan Safran Foer
Read it. Love it. Please. I'm begging you.
• "Sometimes I hear my bomes straining under the weight of all the lives I'm not living."
• "Why didn't I learn to treat everything like it was my last time? My greatest regret was how much I believed in the future. "
• "I regret that it takes a life to know how to live."
• "You can't love anything more than something you miss."
• "I thought about all of the things that everyone ever says to each other, and how everyone is going to die, whether it's in a millisecond, or days, or months, or 76.5 years, if you were just born. Everything that's born has to die, which means our lives are like skyscrapers. The smoke rises at different speeds, but they're all on fire, and we're all trapped"
• "I did not need to know if he could love me.
I needed to know if he could need me."
• "In the end, everyone loses everyone. There was no invention to get around that, and so I felt, that night, like the turtle that everything else in the universe was on top of."
I'M BEGGING YOU ON MY KNEES THIS IS FOR YOU. PLEASE.
"In destroying what it does not understand, mankind would destroy itself. The blood of dragons is the blood of the world. Another subject beyond your comprehension."
- Yavana, Dragon Age: The Silent Grove Chapter 3.
Okay officially my favorite quote ever is probably
“You might be a weird, squirrelly kid, but you’re my weird squirrelly kid.” -The Iron Bull
Cassandra: How does compassion become such a deadly killer? Cole: Templars.
Men's hearts hold shadows darker than any tainted creature.

Honestly, I couldn't keep my eyes off you... and we'd only just met.
