“May you never be the reason why someone who loved to sing, doesn’t anymore.
Or why someone who dressed so uniquely, now wears plain clothing.
Or why someone who always spoke so excitedly about their dreams, is now silent about them.

― Sharouk Mustafa Ibrahim

“Women and men, the old and the young of them: there are so many of them, and so many of their stories are tragedies with griefs too deep to be contained, but holding here and there tiny joys, snatched from the darkness like flowers picked by a fallen traveler from the side of a cliff.”
― Neil Gaiman, American Gods

“But that is the nature of a story. Not all stories speak to all listeners, but all listeners can find a story that does, somewhere, sometime, in one form or another.”
― Erin Morgenstern, The Starless Sea
