You’re like a lighthouse shining beside the sea of humanity, motionless: all you can see is your own reflection in the water. You’re alone, so you think it’s a vast, magnificent panorama. You haven’t sounded the depths. You simply believe in the beauty of God’s creation. But I have spent all this time in the water, diving deep into the howling ocean of life, deeper than anyone. While you were admiring the surface, I saw the shipwrecks, the drowned bodies, the monsters of the deep . Alfred De Musset
About This Quote

Still, I believe it’s better to climb up when you fall than to lie flat on your back when you fall. I know what it is to be loved by the darkness, but not by the light. You can be loved by the darkness or you can be loved by the light; but in either case, you will only be loved for a short while. If you lean towards love, it will bring pain; if you lean away from love, it will bring more pain.
