I used to say "We are predestined to set our own destiny"... I do not think I believe it anymore... but it is something to be said.

"Anyone who tries to imprison friendship or love, will cut off the spring that feeds it, and the trapped water will grow stagnant and rank." -The Witch of Portobello, Page: 196
“Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should be just friends' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love.”
-Neil Gaiman
Man has such a predilection for systems and abstract deductions that he is ready to distort the truth intentionally, he is ready to deny the evidence of his senses only to justify his logic. - Fyodor Dostoevsky

"I will know Love no matter what circumstances the world may give me, no matter how many people choose to turn and walk away. I will find love in the laughter of little children, in the gentleness of animals, in the beauty and glory of Nature, in the knowledge of myself. And when the day comes that I find someone who does not turn away, I will give Love with all my heart. "

'What is that noise now? What is the wind doing?'
Nothing again nothing.

"How can I go back to New York, to Banard, not knowing which ones are Goblins? How can I trust anyone ever again? How dare I marry someone, not really knowing what he is? How can I have friends, real friends with whom I can be open, direct, and truthful? I can't tell the difference between them and us, so I have to assume everyone's a Goblin. I'll have to be alone, always alone, forever alone. Because trusting in anyone could be the end of me. Alone...what kind of life will that be?"

As I said when I began this story, hope is a constant companion in this life. It is the one thing that neither cruel nature, God, nor other men can wrench from us. Health, wealth, parents, beloved brother and sisters, children, friends, the past, the future-- all can be stolen from us as easily asn unguarded purse. But our greatest treasure, hope, remains. It is a sturdy little motor within, puring, ticking, driving us on when reason would suggest surrender. It is both the most pathetic and noblest thing about us, the most absurd and the most admirable quality we posess, for as long as we have hope we also have the capacity for love, for caring, for decency.

"Sometimes I feel that all things in this life are subjective, that nothing in the universe can be objectively quantified, qualified-defined, that physicists and carpenters alike are made fools by the assumption that they can weigh and measure the tools and materials with which they work and can arrive at real figures that mean something."

Not really a saying, more an anecdote (possibly apocryphal) that sort of makes me laugh at the bleak humour of it. Can't remember where I first read it:
There was a poet, old and wise, who was famed for the insight and profundity of his verses. One day, during an interview, his interviewer asked this final question with which to finish the session: "What do you make of it all?" the interviewer asked, standing by a window and giving a sweeping gesture to the city beyond. "All of it. The world. People. Everything. What is the one thing you would say that you have learned above all?"
The poet strode over to the window, and was pensive for a while as he watched outside. "You know," he finally said, more to himself than the interviewer. "There sure are a lot of bastards out there."
