“Stamina is essential to stay focused in a life filled with distraction. It is the ability to stick to a task when your body and mind are at their limit, the ability to keep your head down, swimming in your lane, without looking around, worrying who might overtake you . .”

“Sometimes she heard night-sounds she didn’t know or jumped from lightning too close, but whenever she stumbled, it was the land who caught her.

― Delia Owens, Where the Crawdads Sing

“È facile saper vivere. Grande saper morire. It is easy to know how to live. Heroic to know how to die. —Arrigo Paladini”

“I wasn't aware that words could hold so much. I didn't know a sentence could be so full.”
