“What is hard work? It takes strength, energy, and stress to truly care about others enough to place oneself last, but it is easy to wrap oneself up and selfishly scramble on the heads of others.”

“Today each of you is the object of the other’s reading, one reads in the other the unwritten story.”

“... relationships required such vigilance, such attention. You had to hold them together by force of will, and other people took up so much space, demanded so much time. It was exhausting.”

My favorite kindness pebbles are compliments.
Drop a compliment and watch the ripple affect that it has in your life.”

“Когда я был моложе, я получал то, что мне было положено. Казалось, в этом и состоит жизнь. И где-то подсознательно я считал, что существует некая
система высшей справедливости. Но ее нет. Или если и есть, то не для таких, как я. И возможно не для таких, как вы. Если мы получаем лишь то, что нам причитается, то мы получаем немного, ведь так?
И все дело в том, чего ты хочешь, разве нет? Когда я был моложе, я притворялся, что хочу, или действительно думал, что хочу, множество вещей, просто потому, что этого же хотели другие. Я не утверждаю, что стал старше и мудрее - ну хорошо, лишь чуть-чуть, - но сейчас я знаю, чего хочу и не теряю времени на то, чего я не хочу.
И если вы отвечаете за себя, то не стоит переживать по поводу того, что кто-то еще чего-то хочет. Потому что это тоже отнимает много времени.”
― Love, etc.

“Memories are immortal. They're deathless and precise. They have the power of giving you joy and perspective in hard times. Or, they can strangle you. Define you in a way that's based more in other people's tucked-up perceptions than truth.”

“Sometimes even if you meet people where they are they will still reject you and that's okay. It takes more time for healing and self-discovery for some than it does for others. ”

“No one really cares about other people when you get down to it—their own struggles are too close up.”

“What’s insidious about the fear of what others will say is that you rarely hear them say it. You imagine what they’d say. You imagine they care that much about you. The fragility of our own egos gets the better of us”

“Qu'est-ce-que faire l'amour ? c'est languir après le tout proche, comme si une fois levés tout les obstacles, , dans le contact des peaux, et l'entralacement des epidermes, l'Autre refusait encore de se laisser prendre.”

“People are more than you think they are. And they're less, as well. The trick lies in negotiating your way between the two.”

“Isolation has carved me in its image and likeness. The presence of another person – of any person whatsoever – instantly slows down my thinking, and while for a normal man contact with others is a stimulus to spoken expression and wit, for me it is a counterstimulus, if this compound word be linguistically permissible. When all by myself, I can think of all kinds of clever remarks, quick comebacks to what no one said, and flashes of witty sociability with nobody. But all of this vanishes when I face someone in the flesh: I lose my intelligence, I can no longer speak, and after half an hour I just feel tired. Yes, talking to people makes me feel like sleeping. Only my ghostly and imaginary friends, only the conversations I have in my dreams, are genuinely real and substantial, and in them intelligence gleams like an image in a mirror.”

We must read not to understand others but to understand ourselves.”

“If you go so far into ideology you convince yourself that any means are acceptable to win you have become the evil you once claimed to oppose. It is the rules we dare not break, such as using illegal violence against others, that separate us from monsters. Anyone can be a tyrant.”

“Sometimes in a crowded mall I realise that everyone has a whole life of their own and it's like suddenly seeing infinity ignoring itself.”

“Other people are, as a rule, so immaterial to us that, when we have entrusted to any one of them the power to cause so much suffering or happiness to ourselves, that person seems at once to belong to a different universe,”

“Other people aren't like me in the slightest, I find. I admit though I prefer to know they are happy, just to be on the safe side. If not, they can be dangerous. I don't like seeing their blood, not at all, nor their guts, all that disgusts me. And if anyone deserves pity, it's me. The others will have to manage by themselves. They weren't any worse off before I was born, and they won't be any better off after I'm dead.”

“A currently popular misinterpretation of metaphysical wisdom is the notion that we cause - and are responsible for - the behavior of everyone around us at all times. The truth is, we are responsible only for ourselves. We can control only our response to and interpretation of events. [...]
Not everything in your life happens TO you - or even AT you. [...] For example, if you are around a chronically angry person, you will be "angered upon". Nothing personal!”

“I liked the feeling of spying into the lives of others while they remained ignorant of my presence. I liked to hear, muffled yet nonetheless partially distinct through the door, the things they said when they thought that no-one other than their companion could hear.”

“With each passing day the presence of others--which my soul always receives like a rude surprise--becomes more painful and distressing. To talk with people makes my skin crawl. If they show an interest in me, I run. If they look at me, I shudder. If.....”
