First love does not mean best love. And best friends may not mean best friends forever. But they both mean at some point, somewhere, someone did care. And their memories still there.

—CRYWANK, Welcome to Castle Irwell.

Loyalty isn’t grey. It’s black and white. You’re either loyal completely, or not loyal at all. And people have to understand this. You can’t be loyal only when it serves you.

That’s why high school, or a crappy job, or any other restrictive circumstance can be dangerous: They make dreams too painful to bear. To avoid longing, we hunker down, wait, and resolve to just survive. Great art becomes a reminder of the art you want to be making, and of the gigantic world outside of your small, seemingly inescapable one. We hide from great things because they inspire us, and in this state, inspiration hurts.

Love grows from stable relationships, shared experience, loyalty, devotion, trust.

—WRIGHT, Richard.

You have to find the right distance between people. Too close, and they overwhelm you, too far and they abandon you.

—KUREISHI, Hanif, Intimacy.
