“My education has been so unwitting I can't quite tell which of my thoughts come from me and which from my books, but that's how I've stayed attuned to myself and the world around me for the past thirty-five years.

― Bohumil Hrabal, Too Loud a Solitude

“I like the night. Without the dark, we'd never see the stars.”
― Stephenie Meyer, Twilight

“you can, you should, and if you’re brave enough to start, you will.”
