“He is terribly afraid of dying because he hasn’t yet lived.”

“You won’t understand what I mean now, but someday you will: the only trick of friendship, I think, is to find people who are better than you are—not smarter, not cooler, but kinder, and more generous, and more forgiving—and then to appreciate them for what they can teach you, and to try to listen to them when they tell you something about yourself, no matter how bad—or good—it might be, and to trust them, which is the hardest thing of all. But the best, as well.”
― Hanya Yanagihara, A Little Life

“A First Sign of the Beginning of Understanding is the Wish to Die.”
― Franz Kafka

“A book lying idle on a shelf is wasted ammunition.”
― Henry Miller, The Books in My Life
