“Remember… start each day with a task completed. Find someone to help you through life. Respect everyone. Know that life is not fair and that you will fail often. But if you take some risks, step up when times are toughest, face down the bullies, lift up the downtrodden, and never, ever give up- if you can do these things, then you can change your life for the better… and maybe the world!”
― William H. McRaven, Make Your Bed: Little Things That Can Change Your Life...And Maybe the World

“If you quit, you will regret it for the rest of your life. Quitting never makes anything easier.”
― William H. McRaven, Make Your Bed: Little Things That Can Change Your Life...And Maybe the World

“It was as if a door had opened somewhere. Or possibly a series of doors. There was a sensation as of a breeze blowing into the house and bringing with it the half-remembered scents of childhood.”
― Susanna Clarke, Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell
