“guess my point is that the world doesn’t care about people’s heartbreak stories, Kate. People don’t stop living their lives because one person can’t deal with what the universe handed to him. I have to say this to myself over and over. Maybe then I’ll realize sooner that none of this matters anymore. That forgetting your book was my brain’s way of telling me to move along with my life, that maybe I shouldn’t always keep re-reading old books I already know the ending to, that there are so many new books I could read, and that new books and people and opportunities will continue to sprout and they will keep on happening, even if I think that my life is in a standstill.”

“We need to learn to be strong in the face of despair, because that is the only way we will appreciate the strength that can be found in our scars. That is the only way we will understand that overcoming our obstacles gives us the willpower to deal with so much more in life. That is the only way we will accept that strength is earned, not given, that strength is in being soft, not stone-hearted.”
― Ruby Dhal, My Hope for Tomorrow

“There are some who say that you should forgive everyone, even the people who
have disappointed you immeasurably. There are others who say you should not forgive anyone, and should stomp off in a huff no matter how many times they apologize.
Of these two philosophies, the second one is of course much more fun, but it can also grow exhausting to stomp off in a huff every time someone has disappointed you, as everyone disappoints everyone eventually, and one can’t stomp off in a huff every minute of the day.”
― Lemony Snicket, The Penultimate Peril

“When you say no to the wrong people, it opens up the space for the right people to come in.”
