Fernando Pessoa // Franz Kafka

“if there is a life after this one,” he said, “let me meet you in it, james carstairs.” “there will be other lives.” jem held his hand out, and for a moment, they clasped hands, as they had done during their parabatai ritual, reaching across twin rings of fire to interlace their fingers with each other. “the world is a wheel,” he said. “when we rise or fall, we do it together.”

“It was books that made me feel that perhaps I was not completely alone. They could be honest with me, and I with them.”  - Will Herondale // Clockwork Prince
