“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.

― Maya Cullens, Under the Mistletoe with My Brother’s Best Friend

“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

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

“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
