“Oh, Frankenstein, be not equitable to every other and trample upon me alone, to whom thy justice, and even thy clemency and affection, is most due. Remember that I am thy creature; I ought to be thy Adam, but I am rather the fallen angel, whom thou drivest from joy for no misdeed. Everywhere I see bliss, from which I alone am irrevocably excluded. I was benevolent and good; misery made me a fiend. Make me happy, and I shall again be virtuous.”

• Mary Shelley

“If I cannot bend the will of Heaven, I shall move Hell.”

• Virgil

“A verdadeira graça é bela em sua imperfeição, honesta em suas emoções e livre em sua fragilidade.”

• Morgana

“The eyes of others our prisons; their thoughts our cages.”

• Virginia Woolf

“Does not everything depend on our interpretation of the silence around us?”

• Lawrence Durrell

“Slovenliness is no part of religion. Cleanliness is indeed next to Godliness.”

• John Wesley

“The devil can cite Scripture for his purpose. An evil soul producing holy witness is like a villain with a smiling cheek, a goodly apple rotten at the heart. O, what a goodly outside falsehood hath!”

• William Shakespeare

"My dear, find what you love and let it kill you. Let it drain from you your all. Let it cling onto your back and weigh you down into eventual nothingness. Let it kill you, and let it devour your remains. For all things will kill you, both slowly and fastly, but it’s much better to be killed by a lover."

• Charles Bukowski

“As far as I’m concerned, the only difference between school and prison is the wardrobe.”

• Quinn Morgendorffer

“My life is a perfect graveyard of buried hopes.”

• L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables

“No live organism can continue for long to exist sanely under conditions of absolute reality; even larks and katydids are supposed, by some, to dream.”

• Shirley Jackson, The Haunting of Hill House

“If man had been created in the image of the Bearded God, he would be free to be untamed without being cruel, angry without being violent, sexual without being coercive, spiritual without being asexual, and capable of truly loving.”

• Starhawk. The Cosmic Dance of the Witches

“O romano que desistia de um empreendimento importante ao ver uma revoada de pássaros agourentos tinha razão, portanto, em termos relativos; seu comportamento era compatível com suas premissas. Mas quando renunciava ao empreendimento por ter tropeçado na soleira de sua porta (“un Romain retournerait”), era também, num sentido absoluto, superior a nós, descrentes; era um melhor conhecedor de alma do que nos empenhamos em ser. É que esse tropeço deve ter-lhe revelado a existência de uma dúvida, de uma corrente contrária agindo em seu interior, cuja força, no momento da execução, poderia reduzir a força de sua intenção. De fato só se tem certeza do êxito completo quando todas as forças anímicas unem-se na luta pela meta desejada.”

• Sigmund Freud
