“I don’t know if you’ve ever felt like that. That you wanted to sleep for a thousand years. Or just not exist. Or just not be aware that you do exist. Or something like that. I think wanting that is very morbid, but I want it when I get like this. That’s why I’m trying not to think. I just want it all to stop spinning.”

“People are afraid to pursue their most important dreams beacause they that feel they don’t deserve them, or that they’ll be unable to acheive them. We, their hearts, become fearful just thinking of loved ones who go away forever,or of moments that could have been good but weren’t, or of treasures that might have been found but were forever hidden in the sands. Because when these things happen, we suffer terribly.”

“Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often used synonymously. A person maybe proud without being vain. Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves, vanity to what we would have others think of us.”

Mary, Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
