Alain de Botton
“Most of our childhood is stored not in photos, but in certain biscuits, lights of day, smells, textures of carpet.”
― Alain de Botton

Anaïs Nin
“My mission, should I choose to accept it, is to find peace with exactly who and what I am. To take pride in my thoughts, my appearance, my talents, my flaws and to stop this incessant worrying that I can’t be loved as I am.”
― Anaïs Nin

Mohsin Hamid
“It's in being read that a book becomes a book, and in each of a million different readings a book become one of a million different books . . .”
― Mohsin Hamid, How to Get Filthy Rich in Rising Asia

Penny Reid
“Do ever respond to a question without asking another question?
Does it bother you?

What hypothesis?
He let out a heavy sigh, and with it, all the residual warmth from our flirty banther evaporated. " You're a shrink," he said. He might as well have accused me of being a traitor or a murder or a Kardeshian.”
― Penny Reid, Love Hacked

Simon Van Booy
“And you realize that you've finally grown up. That youth has finished. In its place you have knowledge, which you must carry. You must also learn to accept that death is the most sophisticated form of beauty, and the most difficult to accept.
From this moment on, you will always be conscious of what you are doing. And any future feeling, whether joy or grief or excitement or regret, will come now with an awareness of its own end - with shadows you never noticed in youth. Variation of feeling will become depth of feeling. And you will appreciate tiny things - and step with the confidence of someone overjoyed to know he is doomed.”
― Simon Van Booy, Everything Beautiful Began After
