“What made something precious? Losing it and finding it.”
Celeste Ng, Everything I Never Told You

Stephen R. Covey
“Where we stand depends on where we sit." Each of us tends to think we see things as they are, that we are objective. But this is not the case. We see the world, not as it is, but as we are—or, as we are conditioned to see it. When we open our mouths to describe what we see, we in effect describe ourselves, our perceptions, our paradigms. When other people disagree with us, we immediately think something is wrong with them.”
Stephen R. Covey, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Powerful Lessons in Personal Change

James Baldwin
“Tell me, he said, "What is this thing about time? Why is it better to be late than early? People are always saying, we must wait, we must wait. what are they waiting for?"

"Well […] I guess people wait in order to make sure of what they feel."

"And when you have waited—-has it made you sure?”
James Baldwin, Giovanni’s Room

Stephen R. Covey
“Treat them all the same by treating them differently.”
Stephen Covey, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Powerful Lessons in Personal Change

Celeste Ng
“All their lives Nath had understood, better than anyone, the lexicon of their family, the things they could never truly explain to outsiders: that a book or a dress meant more than something to read or something to wear; that attention came with expectations that—like snow—drifted and settled and crushed you with their weight. All the words were right, but in this new Nath’s voice, they sounded trivial and brittle and hollow. The way anyone else might have heard them. Already her brother had become a stranger.”
Celeste Ng, Everything I Never Told You
