“Words and emotions are simple currencies. If we inflate them, they lose their value, just like money. They begin to mean nothing. Use 'beautiful' to describe a sandwich and the word means nothing. Since the war, there is no more room for inflated language. Words and feelings are small now - clear and precise. Humble like dreams.”
― Jess Walter, Beautiful Ruins

“What you are is what you have been. What you'll be is what you do now.”
― Siddhārtha Gautama

“A man asked Gautama Buddha, "I want happiness."
Buddha said, "First remove "I," that's Ego, then remove "want," that's Desire.
See now you are left with only "Happiness.”
― Gautama Buddha, Sayings of Buddha
