“Sorrow is knowledge: they who know the most must mourn the deepest o’er the fatal truth, the Tree of Knowledge is not that of Life.” ― George Gordon Byron, Manfred

But whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a fount of water springing up to eternal life.”“The woman said to Him, “Sir, give me this water so that I will not get thirsty and have to keep coming here to draw water.” -John 4:14&15

Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil. - Confucius

“This is what it means to be a woman in this world. Every step is a bargain with pain. Make your black deals in the black wood and decide what you’ll trade for power. For the opposite of weakness, which is not strength but hardness. I am a trap, but so is everything. Pick your price. I am a huckster with a hand in your pocket. I am freedom and I will eat your heart.” ― Catherynne M. Valente, Six-Gun Snow White

“So she gave in for a few moments and allowed herself to feel the pain, to wallow in It, relish it even just a little, for she knew that she would never again allow herself to feel this depth of sadness” -Lisa-Marie Butler
