“I am a writer and comparing things is part of my occupation. Over the years I've learned to compare almost anything to almost anything else. I can compare the pencil I am using to write these words (and these words, and these and these) to my own life, because it is sometimes sharp and sometimes dull, and because it is getting shorter and shorter the more I use it, and because when I try to erase things you can still see the marks they left behind.”
― Lemony Snicket, Poison for Breakfast

“What are lies but attempts to conceal some sort of weakness?”
― Suzanne Collins, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes

“It is not your job to make other people comfortable with who you are.”
― Maggie Smith, Keep Moving: Notes on Loss, Creativity, and Change
