“That life - whatever else it is - is short. That fate is cruel but maybe not random. That Nature (meaning Death) always wins but that doesn’t mean we have to bow and grovel to it. That maybe even if we’re not always so glad to be here, it’s our task to immerse ourselves anyway: wade straight through it, right through the cesspool, while keeping eyes and hearts open. And in the midst of our dying, as we rise from the organic and sink back ignominiously into the organic, it is a glory and a privilege to love what Death doesn’t touch.”
― Donna Tartt, The Goldfinch

“happiness comes not from bodily pleasures or wealth or power, but from living a life that’s right for your soul.”
― T.J. Klune, In the Lives of Puppets

“Searching for a connection. Making something out of nothing so the spaces between us do not seem so far.”
― T.J. Klune, In the Lives of Puppets

“There must be no greater feeling in the world than to know that this isn’t forever.”
― T.J. Klune, In the Lives of Puppets
