“There is merely bad luck in not being loved; there is misfortune in not loving. All of us, today, are dying of this misfortune. For violence and hatred dry up the heart itself; the long fight for justice exhausts the love that nevertheless gave birth to it.”
― Albert Camus, Summer in Algiers

“All the things I’ve done before—”
“Leave them in the past. Apologize to who you feel the need to,
but leave those things behind.”
“Forgiveness is not that easy.”
“Forgiveness is something we also grant ourselves.”
― Sarah J. Maas, A ​Court of Silver Flames

“I've seen what you can do when you are willing to fight for the people you love. Why not apply that same bravery and loyalty to yourself? Don't say you don't deserve it. [...] Everyone deserves happiness. The road there isn't easy. It is long, and hard, and often traveled utterly blind. But you keep going. [...] Because you know the destination will be worthwile.”
― Sarah J. Maas, A ​Court of Silver Flames
