“A short cut to riches is to subtract from our desires.”
― Francesco Petrarch

“To survive, you must tell stories.”
― Umberto Eco, The Island of the Day Before

“Sometimes I reread my favorite books from back to front. I start with the last chapter and read backward until I get to the beginning. When you read this way, characters go from hope to despair, from self-knowledge to doubt. In love stories, couples start out as lovers and end as strangers. Coming-of-age books become stories of losing your way. Your favorite characters come back to life.”
― Nicola Yoon, Everything, Everything

“In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on.”
― Robert Frost
