“Between life and death there is a library, and within that library, the shelves go on forever. Every book provides a chance to try another life you could have lived.

“If you are bewildered and clinging tenaciously to some course you love, be patient. Work hard. Hold your dream tightly to you, and do everything you can to realize it within reason. Take a step that will lead you toward the realization of your dream, and then take another, and another, and another. Hold fast to your oars, hoist the sails to the wind, read the pictures in the stars, look beyond the horizon to that which you can't see but dimly sense in your future: the curving inlet, the sandy beach.”
― Jesmyn Ward, Navigate Your Stars
