“Suddenly in the bustle of the terminal, my destination, my name, my address will no longer be there in my brain. But this never lasts long: five or ten seconds at most.”
― Haruki Murakami, Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman

“You need to know it's your actions that will make you a good person, not desire.”
― Matthew Quick, The Silver Linings Playbook

“I don't want to stay in the bad place, where no one believes in silver linings or love or happy endings”
― Matthew Quick, The Silver Linings Playbook

“I felt like I’d seen this scene, many years before. A broad swatch of lawn, twin girls slurping up orange juice, long-tailed birds flying off who knows where, netless tennis courts, the sea beyond . . . But it was an illusion. It was vivid enough, an intense sense of the real, but an illusion nonetheless. I’d never been to this hospital in my life.”
― Haruki Murakami, Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman
