“When great happiness unexpectedly swoops down on people, they suddenly turn into cowards.”
― Novala Takemoto, Kamikaze Girls

“Youth is terrible: it is a stage trod by children in buskins and a variety of costumes mouthing speeches they've memorized and fanatically believe but only half understand. And history is terrible because it so often ends up a playground for the immature; a playground for the young Nero, a playground for the young Bonaparte, a playground for the easily roused mobs of children whose simulated passions and simplistic poses suddenly metamorphose into a catastrophically real reality.”
― Milan Kundera, The Joke

“I wish there was a way to know you're in the good old days before you've actually left them.”
― Andy Bernard

“One always begins to forgive a place as soon as it’s left behind.”
― Charles Dickens, Little Dorrit
