[ I wanted to…feel hatred and love, despair and tedium—all those simple, yet foolish things that make up everyday life but that give pleasure to your existence. If one day I could get out of here, I would allow myself to be crazy, everyone is indeed crazy, but the craziest are the ones who don’t know they are crazy; they just keep repeating what others tell them to. ]
[ “She would consider each day a miracle—which indeed it is, when you consider the number of unexpected things that could happen in each second of our fragile existences.” ]
[ “That’s why I was crying,” said Veronika. “When I took the pills, I wanted to kill someone I hated. I didn’t know that other Veronikas existed inside me, Veronikas that I could love.” ]
— Paulo Coelho, Veronika Decides to Die
