“We are never the people we think we are. We are the ones we pretend, with all our hearts, we can’t become.” ~The Tenth Circle

“To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing it’s best night and day, to make you like everybody else — means to fight the hardest battle…which any human being can fight and never stop fighting.” ~E.E. Cummings

“I’m not going to lie, though I do it often. When someone matters, I’ll tell them the truth, just like the way I only smile when it’s needed. I don’t overuse things, because things easily lose their meaning that way. I think you’re an amazing person. You’re smart, clever, witty, incredible with words and with the colours that flutter from each stroke of your paintbrush. When I look in your eyes, I see the sky. You’re still a bird trapped in that cage of yours, and one day, I’ll be there to see you fly.” ~Sleeping with ghosts
