“A great sorrow, and one that I am only beginning to understand: we don’t get to choose our own hearts. We can’t make ourselves want what’s good for us or what’s good for other people. We don’t get to choose the people we are.”

“An intellectual? Yes. And never deny it. An intellectual is someone whose mind watches itself. I like this, because I am happy to be both halves, the watcher and the watched. "Can they be brought together?" This is a practical question. We must get down to it. "I despise intelligence" really means: "I cannot bear my doubts.”
― Albert Camus

“A friend is someone who knows all about you and still loves you.”
― Elbert Hubbard

“You never know when it's going to be the last time you see somebody and don't want to miss your chance to say good-bye.”
― Rainbow Rowell, Landline
