Jim MorrisonThey are waiting to take us into
the severed garden
Do you know how pale and wanton thrillful
comes death on a strange hour
unannounced, unplanned for
like a scaring over-friendly guest you've
brought to bed
Death makes angels of us all
and gives us wings
where we had shoulders
smooth as raven's
claws

Ian McEwan in Machines Like MeLove wasn't possible without a self, and nor was thinking.
Ian McEwan in Machines Like MeFeelings. The truth is, for so long, I'd forgotten what those even were. I've been stuck in one place, in a cave you might say. A deep, dark cave. And then, I left some Eggos out in the woods, and you came into my life and for the first time in a long time, I started to feel things again. I started to feel happy. But lately, I guess I've been feeling distant from you. Like you're pulling away from me or something. I miss playing boardgames every night, making triple-decker Eggo extravaganzas at sunrise, watching westerns together before we doze off. But I know you're getting older. Growing. Changing. And I guess if I'm being really honest, that's what scares me. I don't want things to change. So I think maybe that's why I came in here, to try to maybe... stop that change. To turn back the clock. To make things go back to how they were. But I know that's naive. It's just not how life works. It's moving. Always moving, whether you like it or not. And, yeah, sometimes it's painful. Sometimes it's sad. And sometimes... it's surprising. Happy. So you know what? Keep on growing up, kid. Don't let me stop you. Make mistakes, learn from 'em and when life hurts you, because it will, remember the hurt. The hurt is good. It means you're out of that cave.

Being Silent, VoiceAngie Thomas in The Hate U GiveAnd the moral of the story' -
Girl , soft from not paths .
Stay alone and just not on ,
Never trust a stranger .
Never go to bitt'ren end .
Do not give yourself in someone else's hands .
Your beauty attracts them ,
and a wolf is every man .
Remember one thing: In the night
is already so many Wolf wakes .
Wines them no tear ,
Wolves have sharp teeth .
Numbing the pain for a while will make it worse when you finally feel it.
Pain, Breakup & Lovesick, Sad QuotesAlbus Dumbledore in Harry Potter and the Goblet of FireHappiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.
Happiness, Courage, LightAlbus Dumbledore in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of AzkabanRed is such an interesting color to correlate with emotion, because it's on both ends of the spectrum. On one end you have happiness, falling in love, infatuation with someone, passion, all that. On the other end, you've got obsession, jealousy, danger, fear, anger and frustration.
FeelingsTaylor SwiftHarry, there is never a perfect answer in this messy, emotional world. Perfection is beyond the reach of humankind, beyond the reach of magic. In every shining moment of happiness is that drop of poison: the knowledge that pain will come again. Be honest to those you love, show your pain. To suffer is as human as to breathe.
