"Trifles light as air
Are to the jealous confirmations strong
As proofs of holy writ.
…Dangerous conceits are in their natures poisons,
Which at first are scarce found to distaste,
But with a little act upon the blood
Burn like the mines of sulfur."
William Shakespeare
"Babe, I want to be an island."
"You use a glass mirror to see your face; you use works of art to see your soul."
George Bernard Shaw
"I like people too much or not at all. I’ve got to go down deep, to fall into people, to really know them."
Sylvia Plath

"There are few people whom I really love, and still fewer of whom I think well. The more I see of the world, the more am I dissatisfied with it; and every day confirms my belief of the inconsistency of all human characters, and of the little dependence that can be placed on the appearance of merit or sense."
Jane Austen
