“If you aim to be something you are not, you will always fail. Aim to be you. Aim to look and act and think like you. Aim to be the truest version of you. Embrace that you-ness. Endorse it. Love it. Work hard at it. And don't give a second thought when people mock it or ridicule it. Most gossip is envy in disguise.”
― Matt Haig, The Midnight Library

“You’ll never be happy with what you want until you
can be happy with what you’ve got.”
― Susan Wiggs, The Lost and Found Bookshop

“Some day we may build towers taller than the eye can see, fly through the sky on wings, even live among the stars. But I know this much; the things that surround us may change, but our emotions will always remain the same. A man who loses his beloved wife a thousand years ago suffered the same grief that I felt when I lost mine, no more no less...Love does not change, anger never varies. Hope, desperation, fear, longing, desire, lust, anxiety, confusion and joy; you and I endure these emotions just as men and women always have or ever will.”
― John Boyne, A Traveler at the Gates of Wisdom

“It costs our ancestors too damned much for us to have this life - the best thing we can do to honor them is to live it to its fullest.”
― Kelly Rimmer, The Things We Cannot Say
