“Life, inexhaustible, goes on. And we do too. Carrying our wounds and our medicines as we go.”
― Zora Neale Hurston, Barracoon: The Story of the Last "Black Cargo"

“That though the heart is breaking, happiness can exist in a moment, also. And because the moment in which we live is all the time there really is, we can keep going.”
― Zora Neale Hurston, Barracoon: The Story of the Last "Black Cargo"

“I don’t regret anything I’ve ever done in life, any choice that I’ve made. But I’m consumed with regret for the things I didn’t do, the choices I didn’t make, the things I didn’t say. We spend so much time being afraid of failure, afraid of rejection. But regret is the thing we should fear most. Failure is an answer. Rejection is an answer. Regret is an eternal question you will never have the answer to. “What if…” “If only…” “I wonder what would have…” You will never, never know, and it will haunt you for the rest of your days.”
― Trevor Noah, Born a Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood

“I remained too much inside my head and ended up losing my mind”
― Edgar Allen Poe
