“Every man gives his life for what he believes. Every woman gives her life for what she believes. Sometimes people believe in little or nothing, and so they give their lives to little or nothing. One life is all we have, and we live it as we believe in living it…and then it’s gone.

But to surrender who you are and to live without belief is more terrible than dying – even more terrible than dying young.”
― Joan of Arc

“The mind commands the body and is instantly obeyed. The mind commands itself and meets resistance.”
― St. Augustine of Hippo, Confessions

“The world offers you comfort. But you were not made for comfort. You were made for greatness”
― Pope Benedict XVI

“I could have done that, Marilyn thought, and the words clicked into place like puzzle pieces, shocking her with the rightness. The hypothetical past perfect, the tense of miss chances.”
― Celeste Ng, Everything I Never Told You
