Maria: Do you believe in love?
Ralf: I do.
Maria: Then why are you afraid of it?
Ralf: Because love gives another person the power to hurt you.
Maria: Perhaps. But isn't that what makes it real?
Maria looked away.
Maria: I've learned that people can touch your body without ever reaching your soul.
Ralf: And what happens when someone reaches your soul?
Maria: You become afraid.
Ralf: Afraid of losing them?
Maria: Afraid of losing yourself.
Ralf was quiet for a moment.
Ralf: Maybe love isn't about finding someone who will never hurt you. Maybe it is about finding someone with whom you can be completely yourself—even knowing that nothing in this life is guaranteed.
Maria: And if they leave?
Ralf: Then you grieve.
Maria: And if I can't survive the pain?
Ralf: You will. Not because the pain is small, but because you are larger than the person who caused it.
Maria smiled sadly.
Maria: Then why does loneliness sometimes feel safer than love?
Ralf: Because loneliness doesn't ask you to open the door.
Maria: And love does?
Ralf: Love knocks. But you are the one who decides whether to open.

One of the deeper themes is that people sometimes become so accustomed to disappointment that happiness itself becomes frightening. They may reject something beautiful because they are afraid of eventually losing it.

“But how will I know who my Soul Mate is?” Brida felt that this was one of the most important questions she had ever asked in her life.
Wicca laughed. She had already asked herself that question and with the same eager anxiety as the young woman opposite her. You could tell your Soul Mate by the light in their eyes, and since time began, that has been how people have recognized their true love. The Tradition of the Moon used a different process: a kind of vision that showed a point of light above the left shoulder of your Soul Mate. But she wouldn’t tell the girl that just yet; she might one day learn to see that point of light, or she might not. She would get her answer soon enough.
“By taking risks,” she said to Brida. “By risking failure, disappointment, disillusion, but never ceasing in your search for Love. As long as you keep looking, you will triumph in the end.”
Brida remembered the Magus saying something similar when he spoke about the path of magic. “Perhaps it’s all the same thing,” she thought.

📘The Brothers Karamazov
by Fyodor Dostoevsky
Genre: Classics , Fiction
Goodreads: 🌟(4.37/5)🌟
The Brothers Karamazov is a murder mystery, a courtroom drama, and an exploration of erotic rivalry in a series of triangular love affairs involving the “wicked and sentimental” Fyodor Pavlovich Karamazov and his three sons―the impulsive and sensual Dmitri; the coldly rational Ivan; and the healthy, red-cheeked young novice Alyosha. Through the gripping events of their story, Dostoevsky portrays the whole of Russian life, is social and spiritual striving, in what was both the golden age and a tragic turning point in Russian culture.

But as he embarks on a dangerous game of cat and mouse with a suspicious police investigator, Raskolnikov is pursued by the growing voice of his conscience and finds the noose of his own guilt tightening around his neck.

📘Notes from Underground
by Fyodor Dostoevsky
Genre: Fiction , Philosophy
Goodreads: 🌟(4.18/5)🌟
Dostoevsky’s most revolutionary novel, Notes from Underground marks the dividing line between nineteenth- and twentieth-century fiction, and between the visions of self each century embodied. One of the most remarkable characters in literature, the unnamed narrator is a former official who has defiantly withdrawn into an underground existence. In complete retreat from society, he scrawls a passionate, obsessive, self-contradictory narrative that serves as a devastating attack on social utopianism and an assertion of man’s essentially irrational nature.

📘The Trial
by Franz Kafka
Genre: Fiction , Philosophy
Goodreads: 🌟(3.95/5)🌟
Written in 1914 but not published until 1925, a year after Kafka’s death, The Trial is the terrifying tale of Josef K., a respectable bank officer who is suddenly and inexplicably arrested and must defend himself against a charge about which he can get no information. Whether read as an existential tale, a parable, or a prophecy of the excesses of modern bureaucracy wedded to the madness of totalitarianism, The Trial has resonated with chilling truth for generations of readers.
