“The unreal is more powerful than the real. Because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it. Because it’s only intangible ideas, concepts, beliefs, fantasies that last. Stone crumbles. Wood rots. People, well, they die. But things as fragile as a thought, a dream, a legend, they can go on and on. If you can change the way people think. The way they see themselves. The way they see the world. You can change the way people live their lives. That’s the only lasting thing you can create.”

— Chuck Palahniuk, Choke

— Khaled Hosseini, And the Mountains Echoed

“It’s all about time, dimwit time, inferior time, people checking watches and other devices, other reminders. This is time draining out of our lives. Cities were built to measure time, to remove time from nature. There’s an endless counting down, he said. When you strip away surfaces, when you see into it, what’s left is terror. This is the thing that literature was meant to cure. The epic poem, the bedtime story.”

— Don DeLillo, Point Omega

It already did. But I’m working like hell now to fix that. All day and all night I am fighting.

Waiting is a sign of true love and patience. Anyone can say I love you, but not everyone can wait and prove it's true.
