“You drink champagne if you’re happy. Champagne if you’re sad. You drive a car. You gamble if you want. Own diamonds. Learn how to fire a gun. You travel to Morocco. Take up lovers, and make them suffer. You look a tiger in the eye. And trust without fear. That’s what it is to be a woman.”
— Rosier Betzler (Scarlett Johansson), Jojo Rabbit (dir. Taika Waititi, 2019)
“Hard to sit here and be close to you, and not kiss you.”

— Neil Gaiman

з нами стається лише те,
чого ми хотіли,
або те,
чого ми боялись.
питання лише,
що переважить —
бажання чи страх.

“I liked myths. They weren’t adult stories and they weren’t children’s stories. They were better than that. They just were.”
— Neil Gaiman, The Ocean at the End of the Lane
“Love has something to do with the notion of being seen — the opposite of invisibility. The invisible, the unwitnessed, the unacknowledged, the isolated, the lonely — these are the unloved. Loving attention illuminates the unseen, escorting them from the frontiers of lovelessness into the observed world. To truly see someone — anyone — is an act that acknowledges and forgives our common and imperfect humanity. Love enacts a kind of vigilant perception — whether it is to a partner, a child, a co-worker, a neighbour, a fellow citizen, or any other person one may encounter in this life. Love says softly — I see you. I recognise you. You are human, as am I.”
— Nick Cave, The Red Hand Files Issue #103
“Nobody looks like what they really are on the inside. You don’t. I don’t. People are much more complicated than that. It’s true of everybody.”
