Hanya Yanagihara
“Now he drops his mouth open. Now he hops in a little circle. Now he drags his leg behind him. His moans fill the air in the quiet, still house.”
Hanya Yanagihara, A Little Life

Rainer Maria Rilke
“Do not observe yourself too much. Do not draw too hasty conclusions from what happens to you; just let it happen. Otherwise, you start to look accusingly (that is, morally) upon your past, which is naturally involved in everything you now encounter. But whatever part of the errors, wishes, and desires of your boyhood is working in you, that is not what you remember and condemn.”
Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet

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.”
Eckhart Tolle, The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment

Benjamin Alire Sáenz
“Why do we smile? Why do we laugh? Why do we feel alone? Why are we sad and confused? Why do we read poetry? Why do we cry when we see a painting? Why is there a riot in the heart when we love? Why do we feel shame? What is that thing in the pit of your stomach called desire?”
Benjamin Alire Sáenz, Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe

Rainer Maria Rilke
“I only wanted to advise you also, to grow quietly and seriously throughout your development too; you cannot disturb it more violently than if you look to the outside and from the outside expect a response to questions that only your innermost feeling at your quietest hour can possibly answer.”
Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet
