“I thought to myself that there are surely a lot of big things in America. The Empire State Building and the Statue of Liberty are big. The Mississippi River and the Grand Canyon are big. The skies over the prairie are big. But there is nothing bigger than a man’s opinion of himself.”
― Amor Towles, The Lincoln Highway

“my parents were choosing the inevitable heartbreak that comes at the end of a dog’s life. They were going into it knowing how much it would hurt one day and doing it anyway. Because the loss is excruciating, there’s no way around it. But the in-between is pure magic.”
― Isabel Klee, Dogs, Boys, and Other Things I’ve Cried About

“If there's empty spaces in your heart,
They'll make you think it's wrong,
Like having empty spaces,
Means you never can be strong,
But I've learned that all these spaces,
Means there's room enough to grow,
And the people that once filled them,
Were always meant to be let go,
And all these empty spaces,
Create a strange sort of pull,
That attract so many people,
You wouldn't meet if they were full,
So if you're made of empty spaces,
Don't ever think it's wrong,
Because maybe they're just empty,
Until the right person comes along.”
― Ernest Hemingway

“There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.”
