Sasha Chapin
“My firm belief is that it's important to discover your own tremendous lack of potential. Life often contains the discovery that your place in humanity isn't quite what you thought it was. You find out that you weren't meant to be the lover of the thing you first loved. But it's not so bad. If you're lucky, you end up loving something else. When failure removes you from the wrong path, as wrenching as that feels, you want to be grateful. You're a little closer to where you should be. Even if you don't know where that is yet. Given the choice of any profession whatsoever, I would choose chess genius. I wasn't given that choice.”
Sasha Chapin, All the Wrong Moves: A Memoir About Chess, Love, and Ruining Everything

Kazuo Ishiguro
“An artist's concern is to capture beauty wherever he finds it.”
Kazuo Ishiguro, An Artist of the Floating World

Patrick Rothfuss
“Anyone can love a thing because. That's as easy as putting a penny in your pocket.
But to love something despite. To know the flaws and love them too. That is rare and pure and perfect.”
Patrick Rothfuss, The Wise Man's Fear

John  Green
“Marveling at the perfection of that leaf, I was reminded that aesthetic beauty is as much about how and whether you look as what you see. From the quark to the supernova, the wonders do not cease. It is our attentiveness that is in short supply, our ability and willingness to do the work that awe requires.”
John Green, The Anthropocene Reviewed: Essays on a Human-Centered Planet

John  Green
“I...took some pride in 'not fulfilling my potential,' in part because I was terrified that if I tried my hardest, the world would learn I didn't actually have that much potential.”
John Green, The Anthropocene Reviewed: Essays on a Human-Centered Planet
