“Of course it hurt that we could never love each other in a physical way. We would have been far more happy if we had. But that was like the tides, the change of seasons--something immutable, an immovable destiny we could never alter.

― Haruki Murakami, Sputnik Sweetheart

“Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about.”
