“There are little pieces of happiness and they are scattered through your day. So
take a basket with you as you step outside, fill it up with all the little pieces, and
bring it back inside. Take a moment, just by yourself, take out all of the pieces,
and place them on your shelf.”
― Courtney Peppernell, Pillow Thoughts

“Don’t forget that everything you deal with is only one thing and nothing else. And don’t forget the language of omens. And, above all, don’t forget to follow your Personal Legend through to its conclusion.”
― Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

“these darkest mornings start days that Orin can’t even bring himself for hours to think about how he’ll get through the day. These worst mornings with cold floors and hot windows and merciless light—the soul’s certainty that the day will have to be not traversed but sort of climbed, vertically, and then that going to sleep again at the end of it will be like falling, again, off something tall and sheer.”
― David Foster Wallace, Infinite Jest

“Like most North Americans of his generation, Hal tends to know way less about why he feels certain ways about the objects and pursuits he’s devoted to than he does about the objects and pursuits themselves. It’s hard to say for sure whether this is even exceptionally bad, this tendency.”
― David Foster Wallace, Infinite Jest
