There's this part in 2 Chronicles 18 where King Ahab and Jehosaphat are trying to decide if they want to go to war together, and so they ask the prophets, who all say yes. But then Jehosaphat asks if there are any other prophets and Ahab goes "yeah there's this guy Micaiah but he never prophesies anything good about me."

“You will never be truly happy if you continuously hold onto the things that make you sad.”

“I am homesick for a place I am not sure even exists. One where my heart is full. My body loved. And my soul understood.”

“It’s life that matters, nothing but life – the process of discovering, the everlasting and perpetual process, not the discovery itself, at all.”

“Sarcasm [is] usually the last resort of people who are timid and chaste of heart, whose souls have been coarsely and impudently invaded; and who, until the last moment, refuse to yield out of pride and are afraid to express their own feelings to you.”

“I think I could stand anything, any suffering, only to be able to say and to repeat to myself every moment, 'I exist.' In thousands of agonies -- I exist. I'm tormented on the rack -- but I exist! Though I sit alone in a pillar -- I exist! I see the sun, and if I don't see the sun, I know it's there. And there's a whole life in that, in knowing that the sun is there.”

"A man may know that nobody has insulted him, but that he has invented the insult for himself, has lied and exaggerated to make it picturesque, has caught at a word and made a mountain out of a molehill - he knows that himself, yet he will be the first to take offense, and will revel in his resentment till he feels great pleasure in it."
