“Those who find ugly meanings in beautiful things are corrupt without being charming. This is a fault. Those who find beautiful meanings in beautiful things are the cultivated.

― Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

“We construct a narrative for ourselves, and that's the thread that we follow from one day to the next. People who disintegrate as personalities are the ones who lose that thread.”

“In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.”
