- Memory fades, memory adjusts, memory conforms to what we think we remember. — Joan Didion
- I never wish to be easily defined. I’d rather float over other people’s minds as something strictly fluid and non-perceivable; more like a transparent, paradoxically iridescent creature rather than an actual person. — Franz Kafka
- All my life, I’ve felt like I belong somewhere that only exists in the depths of my mind. A place that is impossible for others to discover. — Megan Grant
- You've still got your inner world — a world that's more real. That's why you're different from the rest of us: you have your secret garden; to which you can retire and lock the gate behind you. — T.S. Eliot
- The transformation of life into drama is unhealthy. Growing up in the culture of the city, many of us see pictures of the sea before we see the sea itself; we read of love in romance novels long before we experience it in life. Our experience is quite often secondhand, borrowed from artificial theatricals, and as a result the line between life and its dramatization becomes difficult to draw. — Eileen Chang
