“Everything we do matters—whether it’s making smoothies while you save up money or studying for the bar—even after you already achieved the success you sought.

― Ryan Holiday, The Obstacle Is the Way: The Timeless Art of Turning Trials into Triumph

“there is a limit to the time assigned you, and if youdon’t use it to free yourself it will be gone and will never return.”

― Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

“I love a library. Just to walk inside one, and to breathe in a room where so much literature has been gathered, is such a powerful feeling that it often brings a tear to my eye, although that could also be my mild allergy to dust.”
― Lemony Snicket, Poison for Breakfast
