“There are little pieces of happiness and they are scattered through your day. So

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

“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

“What does it mean when you remember something that you know never happened?”
― Timothy B. Tyson, The Blood of Emmett Till

“A lot of people don’t believe in curses. A lot of people don’t believe in yellow-spotted lizards either, but if one bites you, it doesn’t make a difference whether you believe in it or not.”
― Louis Sachar, Holes
