Here are some quotes I like (wip)
These violent delights have violent ends. - "Romeo & Juliet" Act 2, Scene 6 by Shakespeare
You take the things you love and tear them apart, or you pin them down with your body and pretend they're yours. - "A Primer for the Small Weird Loves" by Richard Siken
Holiness is in the hands, even if it’s always the head that gets haloed. - "Self-Portrait as Headless John the Baptist Hitchhiking" by C. T. Salazar
Our scars have the power to remind us that the past was real. - "Hannibal/Red Dragon" by Thomas Harris
Everything I've ever let go of has claw marks on it. - (on the wall of a bedroom at a recovery house for alcoholics and drug addicts) by David Foster Wallace

May the bridges I burn light the way. - Anonymous (attributed to many people but I first saw it in 2014)
Seize the day, because believe it or not, each one of us in this room is one day going to stop breathing, turn cold and die. - Dead Poets Society

We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita; Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and, to impress him, takes on his multi-armed form and says, “Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.“ I suppose we all thought that, one way or another. - Robert Oppenheimer
