    Mieko Kawakami
    “If you want to know how poor somebody was growing up, ask them how many windows they had. Don't ask what was in their fridge or in their closet. The number of windows says it all. It says everything. If they had none, or maybe one or two, that's all you need to know.”

    Joan Lindsay
    “Although we are necessarily concerned, in a chronicle of events, with physical action by the light of day, history suggests that the human spirit wanders farthest in the silent hours between midnight and dawn. Those dark fruitful hours, seldom recorded, whose secret flowerings breed peace and war, loves and hates, the crowning or uncrowning of heads.”

    William Shakespeare
    “The course of true love never did run smooth; But, either it was different in blood,
    O cross! too high to be enthrall’d to low.
    Or else misgraffed in respect of years,
    O spite! too old to be engag’d to young.
    Or else it stood upon the choice of friends,
    O hell! to choose love by another’s eye.”
    ― William Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night’s Dream

    Andy Warhol
    “Sometimes people let the same problem make them miserable for years when they could just say, "So what."
    "My mother didn't love me." So what.
    "My husband won't ball me. So what.
    "I'm a success but I'm still alone." So what.
    I don't know how I made it through all the years before I learned how to do that trick. It took a long time for me to learn it, but once you do, you never forget.”
