“Existence is chaos and there are no answers. Even in statistics, you're often just hedging your bets...”
― Chuck Tingle, Lucky Day

“Maybe it’s not order I’m looking for, though, and maybe that’s been the problem this whole time. Order and purpose are often considered synonymous, but there’s a subtle difference between the two. Finding order in this chaotic world has turned out to be a fool’s errand, but purpose might still have a chance.”
― Chuck Tingle, Lucky Day

“When I'm sober, I'm careful not to overshare. I listen more than I speak. I ask people how they are, and when they ask me back, I say, "I'm great, thank you." After I drink, I wake up cringing, regretting how I burdened everyone around me with all my petty sorrows. I can't imagine the remorse I would feel if I woke up after burdening people with sorrows that weren't trivial.”
― Emily R. Austin, We Could Be Rats

“Don’t buy into this idea that you’ve only truly ‘lived’ if you’ve traveled. As if taking the same photos at the same tourist spots as everyone else is the only thing that counts as living.”
― Liane Moriarty, Here One Moment
