- "The world is quiet here." - Lemony Snicket
- "Existence is not a problem to be solved, it is a mystery to be lived. And you should be perfectly aware what the difference is between a mystery and a problem. A problem is something created by the mind; a mystery is something which is there, not created by the mind. A problem has an ugliness in it, like disease. A mystery is beautiful. With a problem, immediately a fight arises. You have to solve it; something is wrong, you have to put it right; something is missing, you have to supply the missing link. With a mystery there is no question like that. The moon arises in the night…. It is not a problem, it is a mystery. You have to live with it. You have to dance with it. You have to sing with it, or you can be just silent with it. Something mysterious surrounds you." - Osho

- “‘There are quiet places also in the mind’, he said meditatively. ‘But we build bandstands and factories on them. Deliberately — to put a stop to the quietness. … All the thoughts, all the preoccupations in my head — round and round, continually What’s it for? What’s it all for? To put an end to the quiet, to break it up and disperse it, to pretend at any cost that it isn’t there. Ah, but it is; it is there, in spite of everything, at the back of everything.’” - Aldous Huxley
- "For you, a thousand times over." - Khaled Hosseini
- "Comme cette terre m'étouffera, je vous conjure de faire ouvrir mon corps pour
je ne sois pas enterré vif." ("As this earth will suffocate me, I implore you to have my body opened so that I will not be buried alive.") - Frédéric Chopin
- "I would like to end up lost somewhere deep inside of you."

- "yes yes yes, even if the reason is tiny and you don't realize it until 7 years after the fact, you must believe that everything happens for a reason. or else you might end up selling vacuums. what i mean to say is: do the best you can with what you can. and you'll be the best. also you're clara fucking zornado so you'll be the best automatically." douglas
