Let me be sad, it is the only way I know how to squeeze out the last drop of happiness, and then I won’t suffer as much later on.

Pedro Lemebel, My Tender Matador (translated by Katherine Silver)

People these days spend most of their time showing who they are not and the rest of their time hiding who they really are.
