Lucky

“She philosophically noted dates as they came past in the revolution of the year. Her own birthday, and every other day individualized by incidents in which she had taken some share. She suddenly thought, one afternoon, that there was another date, of greater importance than all those; that of her own death; a day which lay sly and unseen among all the other days of the year, giving no sign or sound when she annually passed over it; but not the less surely there. When was it?”
― Thomas Hardy, Tess of the D’Urbervilles

“She had only one flaw. She was perfect, otherwise she was perfect.”
― Truman Capote

“If you ask someone out and they say no, try it again in a few minutes wearing sunglasses and smoking a cigarette.”
― Rob Delaney, Mother. Wife. Sister. Human. Warrior. Falcon. Yardstick. Turban. Cabbage.

“First find out what you are capable of, then decide who you are.”
― Tara Westover
