“But what you give up you can learn to live without, even if it causes you heartbreak at the start.”
― Alice Hoffman, Magic Lessons

“That’s what I dislike most of all in people – cold irony. It’s a very cowardly attitude to mock or belittle everything, never be committed to anything, not feel tied to anything. Like an impotent man who can’t experience pleasure himself, but will do all he can to ruin it for others.”
― Olga Tokarczuk

― T.J. Klune, The House in the Cerulean Sea
