“Love isn't always possession or declarations or big cinematic gestures. Sometimes it's the stubborn, quiet kind that hurts both people equally but still feels like the only right thing left.

Love costs and it's worth it.

Love isn't safety. It's exposure. It's stepping into the fire and letting it burn away everything, except the truth.”
Maya Cullens, Under the Mistletoe with My Brother’s Best Friend

Tana French
“I’m amazed this guy manages to get out of bed in the morning without working himself into a panic attack over the chance that he might trip on the bath mat and stab himself through the eye socket with his toothbrush and be left with a permanent twitch that’ll ruin his chances of landing an airplane safely if the pilot has a heart attack and doom hundreds to a fiery death.”
Tana French, The Trespasser

Michel Onfray
“You cannot kill a breeze, a wind, a fragrance; you cannot kill a dream or an ambition.”
Michel Onfray

Howard Thurman
“The Christian Church has tended to overlook its Judaic origins, but the fact is that Jesus of Nazareth was a Jew of Palestine when he went about his Father’s business, announcing the acceptable year of the Lord.”
Howard Thurman, Jesus and the Disinherited

Jill Childs
“Children don’t need to thank their parents,’ Mum had said with a smile when I was in my twenties and tried to tell her how grateful I was, how loved I’d always felt. ‘That’s what you do, as a mum or dad. Unconditional. You say thank you by passing it on to your own children and they pass it on to theirs.”
Jill Childs, The First Wife
