- "Modesty died when clothes were born." - Mark Twain
- "The thief thinks everyone else is a thief." - El Salvadorian proverb
- "Superfluous pomp and awkward hospitality are simply an unnecessary burden for modern travelers. In fact, what they really want is precisely the opposite: a fast and uncomplicated change of locations, an attractive hotel design and a cool, clear head for taking in new impressions." - Florian Weitzer
- "Upon the plains of hesitation bleach the bones of countless millions who when on the dawn of victory paused to rest and there resting died." - Winston Churchill
- "Power is power." - Cercei Lannister
- "I don't love studying. I hate studying. I like learning. Learning is beautiful." - Natalie Portman
- "Our battered suitcases were piled on the sidewalk again; we had longer ways to go. But no matter, the road is life." - Jack Kerouac

- "There will be no fireworks or music swelling in the background. Love, as defined by every romance film in the past decade, is not going to occur; and that’s okay. I will wake you up and offer you something to eat. Breakfast will be ordinary. Despite what society says, what my father says, what the black and white printed definition in any dictionary says, in this fleeting, beautiful, simple, quiet moment, I know what I feel for you." - Christine Defrancisco
- “I realize quietly what a terribly civilized person I am—the need I have for people, conversation, books, theater, music, cafés, drinks, and so forth. It’s terrible to be civilized, because when you come to the end of the world you have nothing to support the terror of loneliness. To be civilized is to have complicated needs. And a man, when he is full blown, shouldn’t need a thing.” - Henry Miller's Tropic of Capricorn
- "Human beings are funny. They long to be with the person they love but refuse to admit openly. Some are afraid to show even the slightest sign of affection because of fear. Fear that their feelings may not be recognized, or even worse, returned. But one thing about human beings that puzzles me the most is their conscious effort to be connected with the object of their affection even if it kills them slowly within. - Sigmund Freud
