What should I do about the wild and the tame? The wild heart that wants to be free, and the tame heart that wants to come home. I want to be held. I don't want you to come too close. I want you to scoop me up and bring me home at nights. I don't want to tell you where I am. I want to keep a place among the rocks where no one can find me. I want to be with you. - By Jeanette Winterson

All I feel are the assaults of apprehension and terror at the thought that I am the only one who is entirely unlike the rest. It is almost impossible for me to converse with other people. What should I talk about, how should I say it? - I don't know. - By Osamu Dazai, No Longer Human

And that is why they forget their dreams. - By Paulo Coelho, The Zahir

Religion has actually convinced people that there's an invisible man living in the sky who watches everything you do, every minute of every day.

And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever 'til the end of time!But He loves you. He loves you, and He needs money! He always needs money! He's all-powerful, all-perfect, all-knowing, and all-wise, somehow just can't handle money! - By George Carlin

The fact is…I’m in love with you, and I have been for some time. - By Colleen Houck, Tiger's Curse
