I need deep quotes. May you help with this? (3/3 collected.)

edited November 2018 in Off-topic Chat
Hello fellow cardsmiths, I'm planning on having another challenge after my circuit challenge ends. This time with an emphasis on designing a card based on a quote.

I'm looking for quotes that are deep in meaning, but have a specific theme to design a card around.

My first quote is one I made myself, after trans themes. Since I felt it expressed how I turned my life around.

"I found in myself what I sought in another. Just
to find a much better lover! So I dined on the fruits
forbidden to man and found who I am."


If you have any ideas for quotes I'd be very greatful. I will also send you a message before the contest if I used your quote. That way you get some extra time to make a card! :) (There will be prizes for grabs.)

Total decided on: 3/3 quotes.
