“A person's life consists of a collection of events,
the last of which could also change the meaning of the whole,

events are arranged in an order that is not chronological but, rather,
corresponds to an inner architecture.”
― Italo Calvino, Mr Palomar

“Remember that day you said you loved me? Remember that? See, you could do that because you're basically a sane person, who grew up in a loving, sane family. You could take a risk like that. But in my family we didn't go around saying we loved each other. We went around screaming at each other. So what do I do, when you say you love me? I go and undermine it.”
― Jeffrey Eugenides, The Marriage Plot

“We can either try to change everything or just make the most of whatever time we have.”
― Ally Condie, Crossed

“You're not to be so blind with patriotism that you can't face reality. Wrong is wrong, no matter who does it or says it.”
― Malcolm X, By Any Means Necessary
