“At the age of twelve, before I had had one full year of formal schooling, I had a conception of life that no experience would ever erase, a predilection for what was real that no argument could ever gainsay, a sense of the world that was mine and mine alone, a notion as to what life meant that no education could ever alter, a conviction that the meaning of living came only when one was struggling to wring a meaning out of meaningless suffering.”
― Richard Wright, Black Boy

“I miss you something awful sometimes, but in general I go on living with all the energy I can muster.”
― Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood
