“I can never be all the people I want and live all the lives I want. I can never train myself in all the skills I want. And why do I want? I want to live and feel all the shades, tones and variations of mental and physical experience possible in my life. Sylvia Plath”
― Matt Haig, The Midnight Library

“Before need, before love, came trust.”
― Suzanne Collins, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes

“I read aimlessly, until I learned to read selectively, with a purpose.”
― Malcolm X, The Autobiography of Malcolm X

“At the beginning of a game, there are no variations. There is only one way to set up a board. There are nine million variations after the first six moves. And after eight moves there are two hundred and eighty-eight billion different positions. And those possibilities keep growing. There are more possible ways to play a game of chess than the amount of atoms in the observable universe. So it gets very messy. And there is no right way to play; there are many ways. In chess, as in life, possibility is the basis of everything. Every hope, every dream, every regret, every moment of living.”
― Matt Haig, The Midnight Library
