“It is never too late to ask yourself, ‘Am I ready to change the life I am living? Am I ready to change within?’ Even if a single day in your life is the same as the day before, it surely is a pity. At every moment and with each new breath, one should be renewed and renewed again. There is only one way to be born into a new life: to die before death.”
― Elif Shafak, The Forty Rules of Love

“That’s just what translation is, I think. That’s all speaking is. Listening to the other and trying to see past your own biases to glimpse what they’re trying to say. Showing yourself to the world, and hoping someone else understands.”
― R.F. Kuang, Babel

“Once you've got a task to do, it's better to do it than live with the fear of it.”
― Joe Abercrombie, The Blade Itself

“Thy table set with rarest wine,
Choice meats, sweet ripened fruit
And candlelight when we dine
In Fionvarre.

On we two the high stars will shine.
And the holy moon lend her light.
If not here you will be mine
In Fionvarre.”
― Guy Gavriel Kay, A Song for Arbonne
