“When you are washing the dishes, washing the dishes must be the most important thing in your life. Just as when you are drinking tea, drinking tea must be the most important thing in your life.

Only this actual moment is life.”
― Thich Nhat Hanh

“I killed a plant once because I gave
it too much water. Lord, I worry
that love is violence.”
― José Olivarez, Citizen Illegal

“Who are these people? Alex wondered. Who are these happy, frantic, funny people? How are they so unafraid?”
