Kazuo Ishiguro
“What is the point of worrying oneself too much about what one could or could not have done to control the course one's life took? Surely it is enough that the likes of you and I at least try to make our small contribution count for something true and worthy. And if some of us are prepared to sacrifice much in life in order to pursue such aspirations, surely that in itself, whatever the outcome, cause for pride and contentment.”
Kazuo Ishiguro, The Remains of the Day

Annie Proulx
“If you can't fix it, you have to stand it.”
Annie Proulx (Brokeback Mountain)

Alan Hollinghurst
“...all his longings came out as a kind of disdain for what he longed for.”
Alan Hollinghurst, The Line of Beauty

Gretel Ehrlich
“Autumn teaches us that fruition is also death; that ripeness is a form of decay. The willows, having stood for so long near water, begin to rust. Leaves are verbs that conjugate the seasons.”
Gretel Ehrlich, The Solace of Open Spaces

Thich Nhat Hanh
“The seed of suffering in you may be strong, but don't wait until you have no more suffering before allowing yourself to be happy.”
Thich Nhat Hanh, The Heart of the Buddha's Teaching: Transforming Suffering into Peace, Joy, and Liberation
