Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
“All the knowledge I possess everyone else can acquire, but my heart is all my own.”
Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

“We all reach a point as young adults when we wonder what we should be doing with our lives—or, at the very least, which direction to point ourselves in. Beyond the means to get by, we need to think about what’s most important to us. Not surprisingly, I discovered that for me the answer was family.”
Saroo Brierley, A Long Way Home

Albert Camus
“After awhile you could get used to anything.”
Albert Camus, The Stranger

Kazuo Ishiguro
“A man who aspires to rise above the mediocre, to be something more than the ordinary, surely deserves admiration, even if he fails and loses a fortune on account of his ambitions
(...)
if one has failed only where others have not had the courage or will to try, there is consolation - indeed, deep satisfaction - to be gained from his observation when looking back over one's life.”
Kazuo Ishiguro, An Artist of the Floating World

Haruki Murakami
“Like flowers scattered in a storm, man's life is one long farewell”
Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore
