The quote that's helped me the most through that is from Toni Morrison's "Beloved" where she says, "Definitions belong to the definers, not the defined" - so I find myself defining myself for other people lest I be defined by others and stuck into some box where I don't particularly belong.

If you have a heart, it breaks, if you have a heart thatโs broken, it fixes.

Jorge Luis BorgesTo the great tree-loving fraternity we belong. We love trees with universal and unfeigned love, and all things that do grow under them or around them - the whole leaf and root tribe.

Too damned much.โ He turned without warning and kissed her, flattening her back against the pine mast.

Norman JewisonAll are agreed that the various moral qualities are in a sense bestowed by nature: we are just, and capable of temperance, and brave, and possessed of the other virtues from the moment of our birth.

For even children and wild animals possess the natural dispositions, yet without Intelligence these may manifestly be harmful.

Until we begin to make discrimination along those lines, then I think we are going to be extremely vulnerable.
James M. BuchananIs it not superfluous to write more than one novel if the writer has not become, say, a new man? Obviously, all the novels of an author not infrequently belong together and are to a certain degree only one novel.

Lauren OliverI hate the world and almost all the people in it. I hate the Labour Congress and the journalists who send men to be slaughtered, and the fathers who feel a smug pride when their sons are killed, and even the pacifists who keep saying human nature is essentially good, in spite of all the daily proofs to the contrary. I hate the planet and the human raceโI am ashamed to belong to such a species.
