“If you don't understand, ask questions. If you're uncomfortable about asking questions, say you are uncomfortable about asking questions and then ask anyway. It's easy to tell when a question is coming from a good place. Then listen some more. Sometimes people just want to feel heard. Here's to possibilities of friendship and connection and understanding.”
― Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Americanah

“I am no bird; and no net ensnares me: I am a free human being with an independent will.”

“A book must be the axe for the frozen sea within us.”
― Franz Kafka

“All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
