“Some of you say, “Joy is greater than sorrow,” and others say, “Nay, sorrow is the greater.”

― Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet

“What really knocks me out is a book that, when you're all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it. That doesn't happen much, though.”

“It's like Tolstoy said. Happiness is an allegory, unhappiness a story.”
― Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore
