"They get better.”
― Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood

“Memories are small prayers to God, if we believed in that sort of thing.”

“Jacob wrestled with God for the blessing. He wrestled with Esau for the blessing. He wrestled with Isaac for the blessing, with Laban for the blessing, and in each case he eventually prevailed. He wrestled because he recognized that the blessings were worth the struggle. He knew that you only get to keep what you refuse to let go of.”
― Jonathan Safran Foer, Here I Am
