“What folly made young people, even those in middle age, think they were immortal? How much better, their lives, if they could remember the end. Carrying your death with you every day would make it hard to waste time on unkindness and anger and bitterness, on anything petty. That was the secret: remembering your dying time, in order to keep the stupid and the ugly out of your living time.”
― Rohinton Mistry, Family Matters

“What is jealousy but a reflection of your own failures?”
― Michael Connelly, The Last Coyote

“Those who are made can be unmade.”
― Hilary Mantel, Bring Up the Bodies

“Most men would rather deny a hard truth than face it.”
― George R.R. Martin, A Game of Thrones
