“In my mind are all the tides, their seasons, their ebbs and their flows. In my mind are all the halls, the endless procession of them, the intricate pathways. When this world becomes too much for me, when I grow tired of the noise and the dirt and the people, I close my eyes and I name a particular vestibule to myself; then I name a hall.”
― Susanna Clarke, Piranesi

“Wouldn't you be happier if the thing that defined you to the world was not what you were missing?”
― Julia Heaberlin, We Are All the Same in the Dark

“We want to call work what is work so that eventually we might rediscover what is love.”
― Sarah Jaffe, Work Won't Love You Back: How Devotion to Our Jobs Keeps Us Exploited, Exhausted, and Alone

“And that the world always hurt those with good hearts most of all.”
― Andrew Van Wey, By the Light of Dead Stars
