In the end, maybe love just meant longing for something impossibly bright and forever out of reach. ~Leigh Bardugo

I was never one to go up to someone as a five- or six-year-old and say, "Hello, my name's Paul, will you be my friend?"

All men naturally desire knowledge. An indication of this is our esteem for the senses; for apart from their use we esteem them for their own sake, and most of all the sense of sight. Not only with a view to action, but even when no action is contemplated, we prefer sight, generally speaking, to all the other senses. The reason of this is that of all the senses sight best helps us to know things, and reveals many distinctions. ~Aristotle
