“In no time at all, I find myself crying again. It’s impossible to resist the kindness of strangers. Someone who looks at you, who doesn’t know you, who tells you it’s OK, whatever you did, whatever you’ve done: you suffered, you hurt, you deserve forgiveness. I confide in him and I forget, once again, what I’m doing here. I don’t watch his face for a reaction, I don’t study his eyes for some sign of guilt or suspicion. I let him comfort me.”
― Paula Hawkins, The Girl on the Train

“If you don’t know how to be happy with what you have, you will never be happy with more.”
― Rick Warren, The Purpose Driven Life: What on Earth Am I Here For?
