Fredrik Backman
“Apartments aren't supposed to be investments, Zara replied gloomily.
What are they supposed to be, then?
Homes.”
Fredrik Backman

William Shakespeare
“Hell is empty and all the devils are here.”
William Shakespeare, The Tempest

Marcus Aurelius
“Nothing is more pathetic than people who run around in circles, “delving into the things that lie beneath” and conducting investigations into the souls of the people around them, never realizing that all you have to do is to be attentive to the power inside you and worship it sincerely. To worship it is to keep it from being muddied with turmoil and becoming aimless and dissatisfied with nature—divine and human. What is divine deserves our respect because it is good; what is human deserves our affection because it is like us. And our pity too, sometimes, for its inability to tell good from bad—as terrible a blindness as the kind that can’t tell white from black.”
Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

Holly Black
“You have only seen the least of what I can do.”
Holly Black, The Cruel Prince

Susan Cain
“Mark Twain once told a story about a man who scoured the planet looking for the greatest general who ever lived. When the man was informed that the person he sought had already died and gone to heaven, he made a trip to the Pearly Gates to look for him. Saint Peter pointed at a regular-looking Joe. “That isn’t the greatest of all generals,” protested the man. “I knew that person when he lived on Earth, and he was only a cobbler.” “I know that,” said Saint Peter, “but if he had been a general, he would have been the greatest of them all.”
Susan Cain, Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking
