Han Kang
“Is it true that human beings are fundamentally cruel? Is the experience of cruelty the only thing we share as a species? Is the dignity that we cling to nothing but self-delusion, masking from ourselves the single truth: that each one of us is capable of being reduced to an insect, a ravening beast, a lump of meat?

Rainer Maria Rilke
“Seek out some simple and true community with them, of the kind that need not change, even when you yourself become more and more different; love life in them, in an unfamiliar form, and be kind to those who are aging, who fear the very solitude in which you trust.”

Eckhart Tolle
“Stress is caused by being “here” but wanting to be “there,” or being in the present but wanting to be in the future.”

Benjamin Alire Sáenz, Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe
