“Because we see only what we already know. We project our own capacities—for good as well as evil—onto the other person. Then we acknowledge as love primarily those things that correspond to our own image thereof. We wish to be loved as we ourselves would love. Any other way makes us uncomfortable. We respond with doubt and suspicion. We misinterpret the signs. We do not understand the language. We accuse. We assert that the other person does not love us. But perhaps he merely loves us in some idiosyncratic way that we fail to recognize.” ― Jan-Philipp Sendker, The Art Of Hearing Heartbeats
“You know there's no such thing as a complete lie. There's always some truth in there.” ― David Levithan, Will Grayson, Will Grayson
“It seems to me that all the things we keep in sealed boxes are both alive and dead until we open the box, that the unobserved is both there and not.” ― John Green, Will Grayson, Will Grayson
