‘Do you think you won’t live?’ asked Mary.
‘Yes,’ Colin answered coldly.
‘Do you want to live?’ asked Mary.
‘No,’ he answered crossly. ‘But I don’t want to die.’
…I’ve come to realize that the only truths that matter to me are the ones I don’t, and can’t, understand. What’s mysterious, ambiguous, inexplicable. What doesn’t fit into a story, what doesn’t have a story. Glint of brightness on a barely-there chain. Patch of sunlight on a yellow wall. The loneliness that separates every living creature from every other living creature. Sorrow inseparable from joy.

A great sorrow, and one that I am only beginning to understand: we don’t get to choose our own hearts. We can’t make ourselves want what’s good for us or what’s good for other people. We don’t get to choose the people we are.
“If you spend your time hoping that it doesn’t rain tomorrow, you are wasting your time. Your thoughts don’t change the rain. You will someday come to see that there is no use for that incessant internal chatter, and there is no reason to constantly attempt to figure everything out. ”
Cling to your soul with love, fear, contempt, and hate, but and don’t let her out of your sight. She is a hellish-divine treasure to be kept behind walls of iron and in the deepest vault. She always wants to get out and scatter glittering beauty. Beware, because you have already been betrayed! You’ll never find a more disloyal, more cunning and heinous woman, never a rougher and more infamous man than your soul—you will never see anyone more beautiful, nobler, and more complete than your soul. Shield men from her, and her from men.
(Sevgi, korku, hor görme ve nefretle ruhuna sıkı sıkı sarıl, ama onu gözünün önünden ayırma. O, demir duvarların ardında ve en derin kasada saklanması gereken cehennemsel-ilahi bir hazinedir. O her zaman dışarı çıkıp ışıltılı güzelliğini etrafa saçmak ister. Dikkat et, çünkü çoktan ihanete uğradın! Ruhundan daha sadakatsiz, daha kurnaz ve iğrenç bir kadın, daha kaba ve daha kötü şöhretli bir erkek asla bulamayacaksın; ruhundan daha güzel, daha asil ve daha eksiksiz birini de asla göremeyeceksin. İnsanları ondan, onu da insanlardan koru.)
