Autumn

And that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there’s something stronger – something better, pushing right back.”
― Albert Camus

“Life did not stop, and one had to live.”
― Leo Tolstoy, War and Peace

“I am alive, I live, I breathe, I put my hand out, unfolded, into the sunlight.”
― Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid’s Tale

“the world goes crazy every three or four decades. The trick is to survive until it goes sane again.”
― Octavia E. Butler, Parable of the Sower
