“Every one of us is losing something precious to us. Lost opportunities, lost possibilities, feelings we can never get back again. That’s what part of it means to be alive. But inside our heads — at least that’s where I imagine it — there’s a little room where we store those memories. A room like the stacks in this library. And to understand the workings of our own heart we have to keep on making new reference cards. We have to dust things off every once in a while, let fresh air in, change the water in the flower vases. In other words, you’ll live for ever in your own private library.”
― Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore

“The role of the artist is exactly the same as the role of the lover. If I love you, I have to make you conscious of the things you don’t see.”
― James Baldwin

“Who needed wealth and success and power when they had love? Didn't it conquer all?”
― Suzanne Collins, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes

“Do you think circumstances make people turn bad? Or that people make circumstances bad to begin with?”
― Cherie Dimaline, The Marrow Thieves
