Book cover for Pride and Prejudice
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.

I knew this line but I didn't know this was the first line. It makes me want to be that person who knows all the opening lines to her favorite books.

“This is what time travel is. It’s looking at a person, and seeing them in the present and the past, concurrently. And that mode of transport only worked with those one had known a significant time.”
Gabrielle Zevin, Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow

Therese Bohman
“How do you mourn a relationship like that? A relationship that had been more real than any other in my life, but had never actually existed in reality, never manifested itself in public, never been designated by a term that encapsulated its true nature.”
Therese Bohman, Andromeda

Carlo Rovelli
“All of the sons of Adam are part of one single body, They are of the same essence. When time afflicts us with pain In one part of that body All the other parts feel it too. If you fail to feel the pain of others You do not deserve the name of man.”
Carlo Rovelli, The Order of Time

John Green
“There's something about the candle snuffed out prematurely that captures our imagination—it is the thought, perhaps, of the books and paintings and songs that might've been, or the idea that artists simply burn too bright for this world.”
John Green, Everything Is Tuberculosis: The History and Persistence of Our Deadliest Infection

Therese Bohman
“No one, absolutely no one is irreplaceable, which is a depressing realization. A workplace is like a microcosm of nature, ruled by laws of evolution: As one species dies out and the whole system is destabilized, an efficient mechanism kicks in to ensure the survival of everyone else, and before long there is a new system, a new balance. Nature's sole purpose is survival, and the same is true of capitalism: A company is like a self-generating animal, a starfish that grows a new arm if a new arm is needed.”
Therese Bohman
