“It is usual to speak in a playfully apologetic tone about one’s adult enjoyment of what are called ‘children’s books’. I think the convention a silly one. No book is really worth reading at the age of ten which is not equally (and often far more) worth reading at the age of fifty – except, of course, books of information. The only imaginative works we ought to grow out of are those which it would have been better not to have read at all.”

“The literal meaning of life is whatever you're doing that prevents you from killing yourself.”
― Albert Camus

“The bravest thing I ever did was continuing my life when I wanted to die.”
― Juliette Lewis

“Grudges are for those who insist that they are owed something; forgiveness, however, is for those who are substantial enough to move on.”
