“I have a lot more patience for others than I have for myself, and I'm much better at bringing out the best in others than in myself. That's just the kind of person I am.

― Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood

“In our society, those who have the best knowledge of what is happening are also those who are furthest from seeing the world as it is.”
― George Orwell, Nineteen Eighty-Four

“And if there come the singers and the dancers and the flute players, buy of their gifts also.
For they too are gatherers of fruit and frankincense, and that which they bring, though fashioned of dreams, is raiment and food for your soul.”
― Khalil Gibran
