― Salman Rushdie, Midnight’s Children

“Nothing of me is original. I am the combined effort of everyone I've ever known.”

― Brené Brown, Atlas of the Heart: Mapping Meaningful Connection and the Language of Human Experience

“You're going to spend infinitely more time being dead than alive, so it's probably best to make peace with it while you can.”
