    “We are synonyms but not the same.
    Synonyms know each other like old colleagues, like a set of friends who've seen the world together.

Because a quiet night is not the same as a silent one, a firm man is not the same as a steady one, and a bright light is not the same as a brilliant one because the way they wedge themselves into a sentence changes everything.
    They are not the same.”
    Tahereh Mafi, Unravel Me

    “He had said that our lives are steered by uncertainties, many of which are disruptive or even daunting; but that if we persevere and remain generous of heart, we may be granted a moment of lucidity—a moment in which all that has happened to us suddenly comes into focus as a necessary course of events, even as we find ourselves on the threshold of the life we had been meant to lead all along.”
    Amor Towles, A Gentleman in Moscow
