“We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another; unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another. The past, present, and future mingle and pull us backward, forward, or fix us in the present. We are made up of layers, cells, constellations.”
― Anais Nin

“It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end.”

“There is nothing inhuman, evil, or irrational which does not give some comfort, provided it is shared by a group.”
