Terry Pratchett
“Before you can kill the monster you have to say its name.”
Terry Pratchett, A Slip of the Keyboard: Collected Non-Fiction

Jean-Jacques Rousseau
“As long as we desire, we can do without happiness: we expect to achieve it. If happiness fails to come, hope persists, and the charm of illusion lasts as long as the passion that causes it. So this condition is sufficient in itself, and the anxiety it inflicts is a sort of enjoyment that compensates for reality… Woe to him who has nothing left to desire… We enjoy less what we obtain than what we hope for, and we are happy only before being happy.”
Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Julie, or the New Heloise

Arthur Conan Doyle
“So we stood hand-in-hand, like two children, and there was peace in our hearts for all the dark things that surrounded us.”
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, The Sign of the Four

Matt Haig
“The single biggest act of bravery or madness anyone can do is the act of change.”
Matt Haig, The Humans

“Darling, you know and I know that everything is straight between us at last beyond the furthest abstract definition in metaphysical terms or any terms you want to specify or sweetly impose or harken back.”
John Kerouac
