“The things I feel cannot be put into words, or if they can, the words are in no language anyone can understand. My emotions are talking in tongues. Joy spins into anger spins into fear then into amused irony, like leaping from a plane, arms wide, knowing beyond a shadow of doubt that you can fly, then discovering you can't, and not only don't you have a parachute, but you don't have any clothes on, and people below all have binoculars and are laughing as you plummet to a highly embarrassing down.”
― Neal Shusterman, Challenger Deep

“You need to know it's your actions that will make you a good person, not desire.”
― Matthew Quick, The Silver Linings Playbook

“Well, maybe we should try not to understand so much, and accept some more.”
― Matt Haig, The Humans

“We had to forgive to survive in the labyrinth. There were so many of us who would have to live with things done and things left undone that day. Things that did not go right, things that seemed okay at that time because we could not see the future. If only we could see the endless string of consequences that result from our smallest actions. But we can't know better until knowing better is useless.”
― John Green, Looking for Alaska
