"Everyone suffers at least one bad betrayal in their lifetime. It's what unites us. The trick is not to let it destroy your trust in others when that happens. Don't let them take that from you." —Sherrilyn Kenyon, Invincible (Chronicles of Nick, #2)

"When you compare the sorrows of real life to the pleasures of the imaginary one, you will never want to live again, only to dream forever." —Alexandre Dumas, The Count of Monte Cristo

"Men are never convinced of your reasons, of your sincerity, of the seriousness of your sufferings, except by your death. So long as you are alive, your case is doubtful; you have a right only to their skepticism." —Albert Camus, The Fall
