― Oscar Wilde

“You know how sometimes you tell yourself that you have a choice, but really you don't have a choice? Just because there are alternatives doesn't mean they apply to you.”
― Rick Yancey, The 5th Wave

“It's not that I don't believe in contemporary literature, but I don't want to waste valuable time reading any book that has not had the baptism of time. Life is too short. (...) If you only read the books that everyone else is reading, you can only think what everyone else is thinking. That's the world of hicks and slobs. Real people would be ashamed of themselves doing that.”
― Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood

“When you’re surrounded by endless possibilities, one of the hardest things you can do is pass them up.”
― Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood
