“Life is too complicated and expansive to be judged solely by the career you have. You could be unhappy doing something you liked, just as it was possible to do what you didn't like but derive happiness from something entirely different. Life is mysterious and complex. Work plays an important role in life, but it isn't solely responsible for our happiness or misery”
― Hwang Bo-reum, Welcome to the Hyunam-Dong Bookshop

“O coração se alargando até nele caber cada pedra da estrada
e todos os destinos aos quais ela podia levar.
Até caber todas as revoadas da manhã, os calangos verdes,
todas as lembranças do cajueiro.
Até caber aquele rio que nunca encontraria um mar.
Até caber o sertão inteiro.”
― Raul Damasceno, O rio que me corta por dentro

“Books are not meant to remain in your mind, but in your heart. Maybe they exist in your mind too, but as something more than memories. At a crossroads in life, a forgotten sentence or a story from years ago can come back to offer an invisible hand and guide you to a decision. Personally, I feel like the books I've read led me to make the choices I've made in life. While I may not remember all the details, the stories continue to exert a quiet influence on me.”

“We're all inadequate, weak and ordinary beings. But because we're capable of being kind, for a moment - no matter how fleeting - we can be extraordinary.”
