“Had I done anything significant during my thirty-year existence? I wondered. Had I spent time with the people whom I really wanted to spend time with? Had I said all that needed to be said to the people who mattered? Did I call my mother as much as I should have? I got so caught up with all the little everyday tasks that I ended up wasting the time that I could have been spending on more important things. But the scariest thing is that I never even noticed that I was wasting my own precious time.”

“But the truth is, Kennedy, those who are assigned to help you in the maze are themselves also in the maze. No one ever really knows what’s going on. By the time they do, things have likely already changed, and it’s no longer even relevant. New problems. New uncertainties. So on and so forth. No one runs everything. Barely anybody runs anything. Just their little piece of the puzzle, unable to ever see what image the puzzle is creating.”

“​It sounded dramatic, but when you had nothing, the people you gave yourself to filled the void that was left stripped and barren.”
― Marie-France Léger, A Hue of Blu

“It’s like there are a million little threads attached to everything—everything you think and choose and encounter—and all the threads are destined to get tangled up eventually. But at that point, you can’t even really see the individual threads anymore. It’s just a giant knot. And even if you could pin-point the threads that are causing you a problem, you can’t even get to them to pull them out.”
