“Above all, do not lose your desire to walk. Everyday, I walk myself into a state of well-being & walk away from every illness. I have walked myself into my best thoughts, and I know of no thought so burdensome that one cannot walk away from it. But by sitting still, & the more one sits still, the closer one comes to feeling ill. Thus if one just keeps on walking, everything will be all right.”
― Søren Kierkegaard

“Ladies know what to guard against, because they read novels that tell them of these tricks…”
― Thomas Hardy, Tess of the D’Urbervilles

“What he knew, he knew from books, and books lied, they made things prettier.”
― Hanya Yanagihara, A Little Life
