I look at him and there are stars burning inside the fissures of his sunlit brown iris.

Sometimes I want to bottle up his voice

and drink it to numb the chilling pain-

when the demons in my wretched head start chewing on my flesh.

You said you would kill those monsters who haunts my memory , what if they are fragments of my soul? Will you kill me then or will you give them shelter under the warm shade of your affection? What if I am made of countless broken promises and a vengeful heart? What if there is blood in my tears , blood that yearns for revenge? Will you wield the sword for me while I hide behind the shield of thorns?

I will not be "famous," "great." I will go on adventuring, changing, opening my mind and my eyes, refusing to be stamped and stereotyped. The thing is to free one's self: to let it find its dimensions, not be impeded.

- Virginia Woolf, A Writer's Diary

How much better is silence; the coffee cup, the table. How much better to sit by myself like the solitary sea-bird that opens its wings on the stake. Let me sit here for ever with bare things, this coffee cup, this knife, this fork, things in themselves, myself being myself.

- Virginia Woolf,The Waves

- Jorge Luis Borges

That's the power of literature, you know, it can act like little love letters between two people who can only explain their feelings by pointing at other people's.
