“People sometimes say how cool it'd be to be fearless, but they don't know what they're talking about. Fear is an instinctive defence mechanism, necessary for survival. Not knowing fear doesn't make you brave; it means you're stupid enough to stay standing on the road as a car is charing towards you.”
― Sohn Won-pyong

“And as I nestled in and drifted off to sleep, my heart felt wonderfully... free.”
― Wendelin Van Draanen

“Every life contains many millions of decisions. Some big, some small. But every time one decision is taken over another, the outcomes differ. An irreversible variation occurs, which in turn leads to further variations. The books are portals to all the lives you could be living.”
― Matt Haig

“Maybe that's what all lives were, though. Maybe even the most seemingly perfect intense or worthwhile lives ultimately felt the same. Acres of disappointment and monotony and hurts and rivalries but with flashes of wonder and beauty. Maybe that was the only meaning that mattered. To the world, witnessing itself.”
― Matt Haig, The Midnight Library
