“Caring for self is caring for others some of the time. Believing in self is believing in others almost all the time. Concern and interest in the success of others is personal growth all of the time. When men take up dreams much bigger than themselves, they lighten up, and become bigger than they ever thought they could ever be”
― Asuni LadyZeal

“After you died I could not hold a funeral,
And so my life became a funeral.”
― Han Kang, Human Acts

“I longed with all my soul to be good, but I was young; I had passions and I as alone, completely alone, in my search for goodness. Every time I tried to display my innermost desires - a wish to be morally good - I met with contempt and scorn, and as soon as I gave in to the base desires I was praised and encouraged. Ambition, lust for power, self-interest, lechery, pride, anger, revenge, were all respected qualities. As I yielded to these passions I became like my elders and I felt that they were pleased with me.”
― Leo Tolstoy, A Confession and Other Religious Writings

“Beneath history, memory and forgetting
Beneath memory and forgetting, life.”
