“I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes...you're Doing Something.”
Neil Gaiman

Andy  Marr
“I’ve come close enough a few times to know there’s no good way to go. Some ways are better than others, of course, but however it happens, the end result will always be the same. I guess all you can do is try to be happy and make the most of your days, so when the time comes, the people you leave behind can rest happy knowing you lived your best life.”
Andy Marr, A Matter of Life and Death

Elizabeth Strout
“Who knows why people are different? We are born with a certain nature, I think. And then the world takes its swings at us.”
Elizabeth Strout, Lucy by the Sea

Iain Cameron Williams
“A man who plants a tree could never be called a pessimist.”
Iain Cameron Williams, The KAHNS of Fifth Avenue

Neil Gaiman
“I hope you'll make mistakes. If you're making mistakes, it means you're out there doing something.”
Neil Gaiman, Make Good Art
