“But that is how we beat death. We beat death by living while we are here. Death may be infinite, but, as we know, infinity is a relative concept. We can create a bigger infinity out of life. By feeling. And every day I feel. I feel deeply and intensely and what I feel is gratitude.”
― Matt Haig, The Life Impossible

“When you grieve someone you see their message in everything. Even in the sunlight on a blade of grass. The whole world becomes their translator.”
― Matt Haig, The Life Impossible

“I suppose that is one of the purposes of all reading. It helps you live lives beyond the one you are inside.”

“You can't numb those hard feelings without numbing the other affects, our emotions. You cannot selectively numb. So when we numb those, we numb joy, we numb gratitude, we numb happiness. And then we are miserable, and we are looking for purpose and meaning, and then we feel vulnerable, so then we have a couple of beers and a banana nut muffin. And it becomes this dangerous cycle.”
― Brené Brown, The Power of Vulnerability: Teachings of Authenticity, Connections and Courage
