Hanya Yanagihara
“What he knew, he knew from books, and books lied, they made things prettier.”
Hanya Yanagihara, A Little Life

Washington Irving
“There is an eloquence in true enthusiasm that is not to be doubted.”
Washington Irving

Ralph Waldo Emerson
“To finish the moment, to find the journey's end in every step of the road, to live the greatest number of good hours, is wisdom.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Simone de Beauvoir
“Yet I loathe the thought of annihilating myself quite as much now as I ever did. I think with sadness of all the books I’ve read, all the places I’ve seen, all the knowledge I’ve amassed and that will be no more. All the music, all the paintings, all the culture, so many places: and suddenly nothing. ... If it had at least enriched the earth; if it had given birth to… what? A hill? A rocket? But no. Nothing will have taken place. I can still see the hedge of hazel trees flurried by the wind and the promises with which I fed my beating heart while I stood gazing at the gold-mine at my feet: a whole life to live. The promises have all been kept. And yet, turning an incredulous gaze towards that young and credulous girl, I realise with stupor how much I was gypped.”
Simone de Beauvoir, Force of Circumstance

Gautama Buddha
“What you think, you become.
What you feel, you attract.
What you imagine, you create.”
Buddha
