“Trust people's actions, not their words.
Don't love anyone who isn't ready to love you back.
Let go of the people who don't hold on to you.
Don't wait on anyone who's in no rush to get to you.”
― Emily Henry, Funny Story

“엄마가 현실과 다른 나의 모습을 바란다고 내가 분개한 일에 대해 말하자면, 나도 그녀에게 똑같이 잘못했다는 사실을 갑자기 충격적일 만큼 명확인 깨달았다. 나는 엄마를 있는 그대로 받아들이길 거부했다.”

“I wish I could love" cried Dorian Gray with a deep note of pathos in his voice. "But I seem to have lost the passion and forgotten the desire. I am too much concentrated on myself. My own personality has become a burden to me. I want to escape, to go away, to forget [...].”
― Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorain Gray

“Without effort, your talent is nothing more than your unmet potential.
Without effort, your skill is nothing more than what you could have done but didn't.
With effort, talent becomes skill and, at the very same time, effort makes skill productive.”
― Angela Duckworth, Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance
